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
