Product Description
Product Description
The world has changed since 1991. There are even ten more countries, from East Timor to Palau. But one thing hasn't changed-the need for kids to learn their geography, and to have fun doing it. Introducing the revised edition of My World and Globe, the 558,000-copy bestselling book and kit whose praises were sung by Better Homes and Gardens Guide to Children's Products-helps kids... understand everything from animals and oceans to explorers and the equator. Child magazine--comes with a child-friendly geography book, an inflatable globe, and stickers so kids can customize their globe--making the world their own. And The Los Angeles Times [explains] everything from how a map maker puts a round world on a flat page, to why it's night in Los Angeles when it's morning in London. The package is irresistible, combining a fully illustrated book with an inflatable, custom-designed 18-inch globe printed with basic physical features, with 110 full-color stickers. The book is revised throughout, and redesigned for a contemporary look. The included stickers are now durable vinyl and reusable, so after putting the banana sticker where bananas grow and the I Live Here arrow where it belongs, kids can peel them off and start all over again--or have a friend or sibling give it a try. And the coolest new feature: The new square package includes a cardboard display stand, allowing kids one and all to show off their world.

Amazing, Aug 9 2004
By Jammie Marie Schulte "Jammie Marie Schulte" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: My World and Globe: Revised Edition (Paperback)
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.
