Maps miss the mark..., Jan 19 2012

This review is from: NG Kids World Atlas (Paperback)
This Atlas has a great deal of information, but unfortunately many of the maps are in the middle of two pages so much of the image is taken up by the binding in the center. The cities and area's my grandson was interested in locating on the map were simply not visible at all. Very sad as we were looking forward to this book. I plan to return this Atlas and go to a local bookstore to find a better product.

My six year old loves it!, July 22 2011

This review is from: NG Kids World Atlas (Paperback)
For some reason my son, now six, began looking thru our atlas at about age 4. I had no idea why a child, let alone an adult would like to go thru each country and study it in detail. I got this atlas for his 6th birthday and he loves to sit down with my husband or I so that we can read the inserts about the animals and such associated with each country. (He even wanted a world atlas/picture shower curtain when we decorated his bathroom! Wonder what his future career will be?)
