A Ticket Around the World

This is exactly what we were looking for to teach my 6 year old a little bit about other countries and world cultures (on a broad overview with quick fun facts). We read one country per night (there are 13 in the book), find it on the globe, and look up photos and videos to go with it on the internet. I love it!

Cute book! I want my niece to live travel as much as me.

It was enjoyed

Used this book for a project with my elementary class. Love it.!

I had a baby shower for my daughter in law. We used it as a sign in book for our guest

Cute story, fit in to our unit very well.

A bit different than I expected but the girls liked them...

This is a book that you can thumb through or you can read page-by-page. In this book, you are traveling to 13 different countries with a young boy, learning a variety of special characteristics about that country.This book is short (31 pages) but I think it gives the readers a good variety of information about each country to intrigue and inform them about how that nation is special. When I first opened this book, I liked that there is a large, colorful world map. This map is marked with each country that you’ll visit in this book with its name and the page number to find that country (its contents).On each two-page spread of a country’s information, you get colorful illustrations and over six different facts about that country. I liked that the pages feel friendly and they’re not too busy and over-stimulating with information and illustrations (everything is nice and neat). Lying in the background of the information, is the countries map. From Jordan, to the U.S., to the Philippines, to Botswana, to Greece, to Canada, to Morocco, you will be traveling the globe( there’s more countries). You will first learn who the boy stayed with and what city. You might learn about the alphabet in some countries, their food, the household, what he did on his visit, the animals there, etc.I was interested in the U.S., I wanted to know what was highlighted in those two pages of this book. It was interesting and not what I expected. I also was surprised after reading the book, the amount of families who included more than one generation living under one roof. In Jordan, I liked the trip they made to the Bedouin tribe.This book had information that I knew and some that I didn’t. For children, you’ll have children that might know a few facts but I feel most of this information will be new to them (depending on their age and experience). At the back of the book, there is a fun “do you remember?” section, as the boy asks questions about his journey which are accompanied by illustrations. If you read the book, you should be able to answer them or find that section of the book and find the answer. I think it’s a good nonfiction book that takes a brief look at different countries around the world.

This is a great, informative book that the children in my class have really enjoyed reading!

It was well packaged and brand new.

First found this book in our amazing local city library. My 4-year-old is a book lover and he instantly developed an interest in the facts mentioned in this book. I bought a paperback, it is perfectly good quality but hardcover had a better feel to it. I surely recommend this to kids under 5. Although it is useful for him for a couple of more years.Now we have successfully advanced to "National Geographic Kids My First Atlas of the World: A Child's First Picture Atlas".

Love this book and so does my 5 yrs old daughter

Me encantó el libro. Espero queMi hija lo disfrute mucho
