Where on Earth? Atlas: The World As You've Never Seen It Before (DK Where on Earth? Atlases)

This book is clearly conceived and cleverly designed. My grandson got it for his 8th bday, opened it and proceeded to go through it page by page, all 160 pages (well, except for the last one, which was Acknowledgments!).He didn't read every page then. But he was hooked enough to check out every one. Took him almost an hour -- and he was too happily fatigued to open his other presents. HA!Definitely young-user friendly. Each continent contains the same kind of maps and info, in the same order. He focused first on the illustrated maps of wildlife, and then landmarks. He's already circling back to less obvious attractions, such as the maps of population density.As a bonus, this book has plenty of intriguing info for any grownups paging along.In fact, my grandson showed it to his favorite naturalists and staffers at the World Bird Sanctuary in St. Louis, which had first sparked his interest in geography. As one of the senior staffers said, as he flipped through it, "I'D like to have this book myself!"

The media could not be loaded. This is a great, educational books for kids. It has over 150 pages of information broken down by continents. It discusses countries, climates, wildlife, oceans just to name a few. Great for a wide variety of ages!

My daughter loves this book. The pages have great, high quality pictures. Lots of interesting and informative facts.

This hard cover book is substantial with interesting information. The quality is great. The color & detail is excellent.

Great reference book! Very fast shipping! Excellent for elementary! Beautiful illustrations!

Not only do kids love this colorful atlas but grownups can’t put it down, either. Beautiful and fascinating maps with lots of extras.

Gift well received

This was a gift for my 6 year old grandson who is very interested in knowing the countries, rivers, oceans, etc, and this book has been wonderful for him. Not only is he able to teach himself these facts, but there is so much geographical and historical information which will be of benefit as he continues his interest in the world. My son found it to be well organized, beautiful photos, helpful illustrations and very engaging as he was drawn into the book by his son. I highly recommend this for all ages.
