Where on Earth? Atlas: The World As You've Never Seen It Before

by D.K. Publishing

"Where on Earth? Atlas" is unlike any other atlas you have ever seen before, bringing our amazing world to life in 3-D. With its more than 60 specially commissioned 3-D maps and artworks, it takes kids on a continent-by-continent tour of the world and even includes an introductory visual explanation of Earth's evolution.

Each continent is explored in great detail, with topic maps on major geographical features, cities and monuments, population, wildlife, and more. From the Great Lakes to the Great Barrier Reef, map keys add extra layers of information, and special fact sections support the data provided on the maps. A gazetteer of facts and figures at the back of the book profiles each country in detail.

Encouraging learning every step of the way, "Where on Earth? Atlas" is the perfect home reference for any child with an interest in the world around them.

Loved that it had pages dedicated to terrain, temperature, population density and spread, and fauna. I found the population pages especially enlightening, and at times even shocking. My only complaint is that the maps were spread on the page at a slight diagonal so that true north wasn't directly up, and as a result you have to tilt your head (or the book) a little. This may have been done to fit the maps onto the pages (in which case, make the book larger), or maybe as a purposeful way of making the reader look at the world differently (in which case, be more drastic about it).

Chock full of information and fun to pour over! What a great book to hook kids' curiosity about the places in our world. Maps galore: physical geography, animals, landmarks, population, climate: all presented in an appealing way. Flags in the back. I want to own this; buying it for my school.

I purchased this book because we wanted an Atlas to use when watching the news, to look up regions in the news. Its fascinating. I never realized just how big Africa really is. Great graphics and large print so you can see whats written, which isn’t always the case with books like this.

在肯德基吃早饭的时候翻完的，绘图精美，内容详略得当，相当informative。可惜已经不是读这类书籍的年龄，如果在6岁以前读，想必会爱不释手。

Clear and informative. This is filled with information, but there was some left to be desired.
