Best Birthday Present Ever

My three children aged 7,10 and 13 have all used or are still using this atlas for their school work and general enjoyment. It is so well set out, colourful and informative that I have given this book to all my friend's kids for their birthdays and they love it too. I have yet to see a better kids atlas in any bookshop.

The greatest world book ever written.

I think that this is the greatest world book ever written. I like it because its part of my school work. I learn the continents from largest to smallest Asia, Africa, North america, South america, Anartica, Europe, Australasia. O yeah did I ever mention the beautiful pictures that were In this book.

We love it!

I got this Atlas for my 4 year old son, and he asks us everyday to read about a new country after finding it on his globe and on google earth. It is just right for his age group and has opened up a new world for him.

FANTASTIC!

I have several children's atlases on my shelf and this has got to be bar far the best for the younger children. Plenty of great information in short sharp sound bites, but just the sort of stuff you WANT to know! I love it and was so impressed to find a book that covered information about EVERY country in the world, + added extras to help with general mapping skills. Like I say FANTASTIC!!

Beautiful and Comprehensive

This is a gorgeous book; hardcover with glossy pages of varying sizes and vibrant color. For every country in the world (yes, EVERY country), the book lists some important information, such as what language the people speak, the currency, the flag, and how to say hello (with pronunciations). It also shows a map of the country, listing the major cities and natural landmarks. For the major countries, the book also gives additional information like the foods people like to eat, famous landmarks, natural "wonders," and famous people. The page on Germany, for instance, gives not only the basic information but also pictures of the Brandenburg Gate, Neu Schwanstein, an Audi, the Black Forest, some sausages and beer. I bought this book because I really admire Priddy books in general, and I wanted to add this one to my son's collection. My son spends HOURS looking through his other Priddy word books, and I suspect that this one will be no exception. He's only 20 months old now, however, and so this picture atlas is far too advanced for him, but it will be handy as he starts to ask questions about where he lives in relation to where other people live. I can tell it will be a useful reference -- it's fun to look at, and is full of great information to get conversations started. As with all other Priddy books, this is highly recommended!
