The Usborne Children's Picture Atlas: 1 Hardcover – Import, 31 Oct. 2003

Excellent book! I bought it for my 3 year old, thinking she would be too young for it but it would be useful to have around as a reference book in the future. However she found the graphics so appealing she asked to have it as a bedtime story and we worked our way through 2 pages a night (as they can take quite a while to go through) and she loves it! We're now working through it a second time round, going into more detail and she still loves it! It explains the basics of cartography and geography in a clear way and has lots of search and find activities that can lead to educational discussions, while still being great fun for kids. I highly recommend it!

I bought this book as a Christmas present for my Partner's granddaughter who lives in the Philippines and is just 7 years old. When I ordered it I was not disappointed, it was even better than the impression given by the sample pages. The colour pictures are wonderful and it is packed with information that she can appreciate on different levels as she gets older. It shows how people live in different areas of the world and the countries where different animals originate. All the major cities of the world are shown on clear but detailed maps. I bought it to inspire her and open her eyes to the wonders of the world and I hope it will continue to do just that. And what did the child think...I'm told she was delighted and it is very precious to her! A totally lovely book well worth buying.

I like the book a lot , was disappointed that it had some scribble on the inside cover, as it was for a gift. Otherwise , its great.

Great first atlas for my son

I live in France and bought this book for my six year old grandson who loves The Continents and wildlife of any description. The book stays with us here in France for the twice yearly visits by the grandchildren. My Grandson's first reaction was "thank you Grandma for buying this book, I love it", what better accolade could it have? His four year old sister enjoys it too and together they explore the world and their imaginations run riot. They have learned so much from it; it has enriched their knowledge of the world I am now going to buy it for his primary school in Kent because I think it has so much to offer primary schoolchildren.

I bought this for my 5 year old who was starting to learn about different countries around the world.The book has been very helpful to him as he has been able to relate with what he has been taught in class with what is in the book.The book is very colourful and appealing to children. It is very imformative by showing the little details such as which countries certain animals originate from.Another great Usborne book

Absolutely brilliant book. Very informative. My 6year old granddaughter was very happy with it. Loads of information as well as maps.

We are big fans of Usborne books in this house. They are always beautifully illustrated accompanied by great text that is clear and easy for young children to engage and understand. This book was no exception a wonderful introduction to the Universe continents and countries of the world for young children with easy maps and symbols to use . I would say that for young curious children wanting to learn Usborne are hard to beat.
