looking down

Wonderful resource to use with young children to explore space and earth in relation to their own position in the world! The graphic art images captured a complex concept in a simple way that is child friendly to further promote their curiosity and interest.

Map study

This book is great when you are studying maps, the earth & works really well with Google Earth as well. This wordless book is wonderful for the elementary school child, which is how I use it!

As an elementary school librarian, i have found this book to be a great hit with students of all ages. It gives a bird's eye view of the earth from first space and eventually down to a magnifing glass in a child's hand. On the way, it introduces kids to VITAL map skills, earth features and how they might be portreyed on a map. This book is a must for all elementary school teachers interested in teaching map skills
