Customer Reviews

Beautiful Book!
This is a fantastic book for young ones with amazing illustrations. Our 4 year old daughter loves all the little details and pictures about each place in the world. Beautiful, bold colors with a lot of info on animals and people from all around the globe. We highly recommend this as an introduction to geography and culture of the world.

Not what I expected
This is definitely not what I expected. There is no in depth review of each country. I wish I had seen this book before I bought it, because I would've steered clear. Out of 48 pgs, only 14 pgs are dedicated to a 2-page display of each continent. You find out nothing about the actual countries and capitals besides little pictures on the "maps." Most of the book is filler pages on basic background info such as getting around (by gondola in Venice, rickshaw in China, snowmobiles in snowy places, etc.)

cute and educational
Really cute book. And boy, do American kids ever need to boost their geography skills! This book goes into the concepts of cultures and other world concepts, not just maps...a great start. My 3-year-old nephew learned to point out "Africa" as easily as he could find his favorite television characters!
