My World & Globe

By Ira Wolfman

An interactive first geography for kids, "My World & Globe "combines an exciting, completely illustrated book about our physical world with a custom-designed 18-inch inflatable globe and 100 geographical stickers. "My World" surveys all the continents, oceans, major islands and rivers: where they are and how they formed, the weather you might expect to find there and the people and animals you'll meet along the way. The globe is printed with only the most basic features: water, land masses, and equator. Then using a magic marker and the over 100 colorful stickers-featuring people, places, cities, plus blanks to fill in-kids get to make their own world of personalized knowledge. They can draw in boundaries, label the oceans, name the countries, and put the elephant sticker where the elephants live, the pineapple sticker where pineapples grow-and the "I Live Here" arrow exactly where it belongs. Selection of the Book-of-the-Month Club and Troll Book Club.Suitable for ages 4-7. 558,000 copies in print.

Get to know the globe

My 2 yr old granddaughter showed an interest in the Earth and other planets. this was a great way to introduce it to her..and it has play value as well

Amazing

My World is a well-executed concept, one that both children and adults will take pleasure in. The author, Ira Wolfman, has found a uniquely clever way to spark geological interest in young children. Wolfman and illustrator, Paul Meisel, take children on an incredible journey around the world and back again, doing so in a way to keep them entertained and educated. Black, white and blue hued illustrations make reading My World easy and enjoyable. The text is smooth and uses some interesting techniques to rework terms into the language of a child. I am not exaggerating when I say that every youngster in the world should own a copy of this book. Complete with 18" inflatable globe along with stickers to mark important points and places of interest.
