Synopsis:
Text, maps, and activities introduce regions and countries of the world to young readers, providing a detailed look at more than thirty separate nations and regions, and covering population, topography, culture, religion, and climate.
Reviews: Gr. 4-6. The 13-page opening section includes some thematic maps and an explanation of elevation and scale. Sections on the continents begin with physical and political maps of the areas covered, along with fact files (smallest country, largest lake, etc.). Each of 37 regional or country maps shows major cities as well as any city that is referred to in the text. Every map has insets that contain a locator map, the height of the landmass, and a scale legend. Additional material includes pictures of postage stamps and flags and sidebars highlighting aspects of history or culture. All maps appear on one page of a double-page spread so there is no gutter loss, although some of the maps are quite small. The four U.S. maps include Alaska, eastern U.S., western U.S., and a simple U.S. map showing state capitals.
