Map skills

Teachers, if you want to turn a lesson on map skills into a fun activity, this is the book to do it with. Easy text with great illustrations (map inserts in every page) can be turned into a "map chase" around the world in the classroom.

A toddler, his mom, and his dad love it!

Despite the "reading level" of age 4-8, and despite the trade journals' implication that it's for elementary school classes, my 18-month-old son has insisted on many readings in the first few days since we got it home. We love the rich pictures (rich both in coloring and in detail to comment on); the alliterative text that rolls right off your tongue, even the 4th time in as many minutes; and the geographical information--which, I am ashamed to say, I am learning from at age 35! And mom loves the great girl role model.

Fantastic!

Amelia's Fantastic Flight is a joy to read with your kids. The colorful pictures and the rhyming pattern take kids on a wonderful journey in Amelia's airplane. The different countries and the maps instill some great knowledge to younger children that will help them in later years. The tale of little Amelia is simply fantastic. I'd highly recommend this book to anyone! At the end when she is reading the book with the space shuttle helped my little one imagine her own adventures as an astronaut!
