Editorial Reviews

12/01/2016
Gr 5–8—This atlas presents the countries and continents of the world in vibrant full color, interspersed with key information such as capitals, imports, animals, historical facts, and natural features of the individual regions. Grouped by continent, the chapters are divided by country (or region, such as in the case of the UK). Prominent rivers, lakes, mountains, and the seven natural wonders of the world are all given their due in a browsable style with lots of fun statistics and graphics. Each chapter opens with trivia, with answers to be found in the chapter (and at the end of the book). VERDICT This is the ideal first atlas for kids who are just beginning their geographical inquiries.—Sharon Verbeten, Brown County Library, Green Bay, WI
