Reviews

[Jeanne Mcpeak · Rating 4 out of 5]

Information and pictures of landmarks and animals from around the world are featured in this book. The book is split into sections by each continent and a map of the land is included for the reader. An explanation on how the earth is divided into hemispheres and is split by the equator is there as well. A student writing a report on a different continent may find this useful.
