Picture Reference Atlas (Picture Reference Atlas Series)

Book by Pickering, Mel

This is the best of the atlases for early elementary grades. In a very simplified, limited form, the Picture Reference Atlas has the most important element of a reference atlas after the maps themselves: an index that gives references to locator grids. The front sections explain maps, symbols, and how to find places using a grid. This atlas leaves out fewer countries than similar titles. It's the only atlas for early elementary children worth considering for reference use. Still, Picture Reference Atlas has a very limited amount of geographic information and should not be your only reference atlas, even if you work only with young children.
