[Desiree Schirg · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is all about geography and different types of maps such as road maps, city maps, world maps, elevation maps, and more! This book is informational and can be used as a resource for grades Kindergarten to second grade when teaching about geography and maps. The book is easy to follow and the illustrations of the maps and map keys are easy to understand and bright and colorful. Students could also use this book as a resource to help them create their own maps.
