Anyone who has worked with early school age children knows how fascinated they are by maps. An interest in geography begins early! Perhaps it has to do with their budding abilities to deal with symbolic thinking. As they begin to learn that a word can stand for a thing, they can make another leap in understanding that a map can stand for the land and water we live on. In this bright and clever pop-up book they will find a single map for each of the continents of the world with pops, flaps and tons of facts that will invite lots of talking and discoveries each time they return to it. The cover is the least interesting part of the book. Open it and enjoy! A parent/child book for sharing.
