Wide Eyed Editions ISBN: 9781786032171 £20.00
This is an awe-inspiring book. We are taken on a trip round the world and visit some of the most amazing places. We witness the swirling Northern Lights of the Aurora Borealis, step into a fairy tale at Neuschwanstein Castle, keep our cool in the hottest place on earth, Death Valley, stand on top of the world up Mount Everest, trek the Great Wall of China, strain our necks looking up at The Burj Khalifa, see 2,500 animal species at Pantanal, see inside an ancient supervolcano – the Ngorongoro Crater and take a deep breath and swim the Blue Hole. This large book is a visual treat with colourful illustrations, paragraphs of information and fun facts. I like the “Can you find?” section at the end of the book that encourages readers to find specific pictures. The atlas can be read from cover to cover or dipped into. This tour around the globe celebrates diversity, inspires travel, research, an interest in people, animals, cultural traditions and natural wonders and fosters a sense of adventure. Highly recommended for children age 7+
