I absolutely adored this book when I was 6. Everyone in the entire grade 1 class did (often leading to fights at borrowing time, oh dear!). When I finished year 12, the librarian gave it to me because it was too old to be in the school library. When I opened it up I could see why, obviously not just my year had loved this book.

This is an amazing book that has taught my son (age 4.5) about maps. It is so fun. This book is not just words on a page, but it inspires adult-child interaction - oh, wait, let's look in the key; let's look at the compass rose; what's southeast? - without being patronizing or pendantic to either party. So much fun. Seriously - my son has spent 2 days drawing a map of his "neighborhood" - where his stuffed animals live - in the style of this book. I've helped him write down directions. We got th...more
This might be the book that started it all. Well, not my obsession with maps, really, by my obsession with the accuracy of maps of fictional worlds. Also, details. This book has so many tiny details, I'm still not sure I've seen them all.
I wish there were more than 6 maps in this book.

The Once Upon a Time Map Book has been one of the most looked at library books that we have checked out this year. In fact we renewed the book three times until we reached our renewal limit and had to return it to the library. While pretty basic in concept, follow the given directions to explore the illustrated maps of various storybook lands, the kids absolutely adored this book. It provided some great practice in learning compass directions and navigating maps.
This book is great for teaching maps! It presents a large scale view of fairytale stories that students are most likely familiar with. It would be great for a cross-curricular activity! Ot also has a key and markings for longitude and lagitude.
I really like this one, although the kids ADORE it - how could they not love it when it's full of maps (and they never tire of drawing their own treasure maps, etc.)
Excellent map reading practice for school aged children set in a humorous context. Also gives them the opportunity to spy out hidden objects or people.
Fun. Venture into fairy-tale lands. Directions to follow to find your way through each setting plus bonus seek-and-find items.
Book has maps of famous fictional kingdoms (Oz, Neverland). Very cool book to use when practicing map reading skills with students.
