I just love maps. I can't go anywhere without pulling out the map to see just where I'm going, what I'll be next to etc. This is a great book that I previewed for some of my kids to read. It's a fun book with pullouts and flaps to lift and fun images. I didn't really learn anything new, myself, but a great introduction for kids and a fun read.
