Really good book. My son loved it. The pull outs were also informative and not too much. Very colourful with a lot of illustrations. Definitely a good book to learn about the world.

September 8, 2021This is a very strangely calibrated book.
The target audience for popup is probably 8yo and under. With that comes some serious constraints on the volume and type of data most readers can process.
The editors & copywriters obviously attempted to provide a broad sense of who "they" are for young readers, and I appreciate that very much. But in trying to achieve this while also limiting themselves to a single two-page spread per continent, this atlas inundates even me (46yo at time of posting) with too much disconnected data. It's a dizzying morass of colors and text.
Here is a YouTube flip through to help you decide.
