Product Information

This book is so informative, and generates so many conversations for learning about the world - Geography, Cultures, Language, Food, Animals, History, etc. My daughter is so happy with it, lots of friends and family have commented on how beautiful it is and the quality is amazing. I bought it for one of my grand-families, and so loved the look and feel of it that my husband bought ME one for Christmas!

That is not a boast; you really get a strong sense of each country and feel like you've really been on a journey if you read it cover to cover. The continent maps are more basic than the country maps, but still include facts like the number of countries, the area and sealife. Used books have different signs of use and might not include supplemental materials such as CDs, Dvds, Access Codes, charts or any other extra material. What makes Maps so special, aside from its fantastic and unique illustrations and fun and quirky facts, is the sheer atmosphere it creates and the feeling of discovery you get from turning its pages.

I bought this book for my husband, he loves maps and has travelled extensively, I know that he will love it and he will also enjoy showing it to our grandchildren. Talk about all the fabulous things to do in each country and detailed history with great quality pictures, even ive learnt something new.
