Geography from A to Z: A Picture Glossary ― A Kirkus-Praised Alphabet Book of Earth's Physical Features for Kids (Ages 4-8) (Trophy Picture Books (Paperback))

We purchased this for our five year old son. We bought a few other geography items as well to supplement his education at home. This book is easy to understand and offers great illustrations to help explain the vocabulary word. You have words such as, Atoll, Ford, Palisade, River, Swamp, Tundra, and Waterfall. Each word has its own picture to make the explanations easy to digest. The text is short - about 2-3 sentences for each feature described. I would recommend this book as a nice geography picture book for children probably from about ages 4-8 (the book states from ages 7-10 but it seems geared towards younger children in my opinion). Happy learning!!

This is an absolutely beautiful book! Right now I am having my son re-create it by drawing the landforms on a blank piece of paper and writing the definition. His artwork is becoming more and more beautiful. It is helping him become interested in these landforms hand and geography. The images are beautiful, and the definitions are short into the point.

This year we did a unit on land and water biomes. This book had wonderful illustrations, easy to understand examples, and correct definitions. It even provides real landmarks around the globe for further research.

This book has been helpful for homeschooling. The definitions are not crazy long so it's easy for my kids to write on index cards. There's several words on each page and it also offers pictures which is always helpful.

Can’t wait to start - should be good to learn the basics

I have used this book in the classroom for many years. My first through third grade students use it a lot. They are able to independently look up land and water forms in order to identify the different ones for a project I have in my classroom. The book is missing a few definitions, but I have made my own and added them to the book. (ex. ria ). The other thing is the index is not complete, but I wrote in the correct pages and topics. It is missing a few of the definitions. It is a great introduction to using an index. While not perfect, it is a very useful and young students are able to use it independently...a huge benefit. I wish more books were that way. It is difficult to find a book at the right level with the information you want. As a culminating project the students make an "imaginary island". They use the book to create a "map" showing many different land and water forms. They get creative with the names...for example, Barbara's Bay or Awesome Archipelago. I would find it hard to teach this part of geography without it!! It is an excellent resource.

My 7 year old came home from school with a note he had written. He wrote the title and author's name on paper. His teacher had this book and he wanted to make a book similar to it out of paper. Great way to read, learn and be creative. Pictures are bright and colorful in this book. He likes this very much. I had rented this book from our local library and pictures were dull. He immediately asked me to make sure i bought him a book with bright pics. This book will be used for a long time.

great book. simple to understand. can use for very young, motivated child as well. i bought it for my 5th grader, but my 1st grader loved it too. nice book for visual learners! i have them draw the pictures and write out the definitions so they don't forget them. it's really neat to hear a 5/6 year old explain what an atoll is! highly recomment!

O livro é bem ilustrado e é um excelente primeiro contato das crianças com conceitos geográficos.

幼児に地形を教えるときにとてもカラフルでわかりやすく活用しています。こんな本がほしかったんです！

We are using this for our homeschool, but I'd recommend it for anyone who wants to learn geography terms. It is a fantastic overview of terms, in an engaging format (particularly good, since this topic has the potential to be very dull). Very well done.

This is such an amazing book to teach geography concepts to young kids. I ordered this for my 5 year old and so far we are going good. The book has lovely illustrations suitable for kids to understand complicated topics. Would highly recommend!

Llegó mal encuadernado. La portada está al revés. No es algo que me impida usarlo y por eso no lo regresaré, pero siempre que se compra algo, se espera que llegue sin ningún desperfecto.
