Customer Reviews

A good atlas for children who love animals and maps

My 2 and a half year old loves animals and she loves maps. This was a perfect gift to her from her Aunt Alena. When my daughter received this book she was in the process of learning her continents she really enjoys learning which continents and countries her favorite animals live in. An added bonus is the large laminated penguin bookmark attached to the spine of the book. The illustrations are good in the book and the explanations are very good too. I just wish there were a few more explanations. If I could give it 4 and a half stars, I would, but there are no half stars in the rating system. This book is definitely worth your money. I think it is great that it teaches geography and science to a younger crowd.
