Excellent introduction to Geography
Reviewed by Parent/Teacher
Your children will be charmed by this 1952 Golden Book on Geography: beautiful color pictures throughout prompt further discussion and questions on all topics covered. Text is written intelligently for children - just the right amount of detail. This is out of print but there are plenty of good second-hand copies to be found on the internet. Wide appeal: Can be used with children as young as 5 and as old 12. Enjoy!
