Where on Earth?: The Ultimate Atlas of What's Where in the World

My son had a copy of this book that he absolutely adores (he got it when he was 6, currently 8). He loved it so much it had basically fallen apart. So, we decided to replace it and get some similar books to encourage independent reading (he is one of those kids who likes “non fiction reference books”- go figure). 😂 Turns out this is the old version, and I’d you get the newer atlas it hs a lot of duplicate pages (so we’re returning it). I tried to research before buying it again, as I was worried about this very issue, but the way the products were described, I thought they would be different. At this point, I’d say go with the newer versions!However, this book in and of itself is wonderful. He loves it, and learned so much. During quiet time and at bed time he looks over each page, wanting to discuss the highest roller coaster or what poisonous animals we do/don’t have to worry about…

Pictures, maps, and graphs not only catch your eye, but also really educate the reader, no matter the age. It informs you of the world's billionaires, to each countries' history. Easy to understand and really cool.

Love this book!!! This was a gift for my teenage son who loves to learn about facts and the world. He loves to play games on his phone, so THIS book was a special surprise as it drew him away from his phone. He can spend so much time studying each page. He especially appreciated the section on volcanos and was talking about the ring of fire. Of several nice Christmas gifts, this was his favorite!

For a Geography book, I'm disappointed that the only country map is inside the front cover - I guess I had hoped for a few more "location" spreads.

Bought as a Christmas present for my Lego loving 7 year old....was kind of worried he wouldn't touch it, but it has great pictures and really interesting facts, we've read s page or two every night and he even took it to school. Would definately recommend.

My son loves reading this book and learning more about the world around him. The maps are interesting and easy to navigate for my 7 year old son.

Really liked this book. Every 2-page spread shows the continents and/or oceans and locations of specific things for that page. There are pages resources, for showing temperatures, rivers, even for locating the ocean's trash dumps of plastic. The maps are all different, drawn to reflect whatever it is they are showcasing.I got it to preview for some homeschooling. After reading through it, though, I think a lot of would be neat pictures for kids up to junior high. After that, they could understand it better. It is a very interesting book to read, and to just look through.

This was a present for our very inquisitive 5 year old and what a success it has been. It is beautifully done, with so much information! I love reading it to our son - both of us are learning new things on every page. It is also a great way of teaching children geography. I highly recommend. In fact, we have decided to purchase "When on Earth?" as a result of such a great reading experience.
