Brief and informative, each page contains multiple short paragraphs combined with pictures. Elementary -middle.

Always a favourite of mine as a child (my edition is from the 80s). Just finished reading this to Older Girl for school. She complained about it, but despite her protests was still very engaged by it. O the perversity of youth. ;-)

Nice intro to Geography for the lower elementary with pictures to try and copy, and captions to copy for copywork or narration.

A great introduction to mountain, jungle, and desert habitats and the animals and peoples who live there. Love Usborne books!
