I purchased these student atlases for my 3rd grade class. They
refer to themselves as "Mapheads", because they are enthralled
with geography, and I thought it would be the perfect gift. The books
were handed out during the party, and immediately following the
ripping of paper, and the "Oohs and Ahhs" there was absolute silence as
they dove into the books. After about 5 minutes of hearing only the
sound of turning pages, I began to hear, "Look on page ___, all the
flags of the world are there", and "Look what the earth looked like
before it separated into continents!" It is January, and they are still
willing to give up recess to scour these atlases.
These books are easy to navigate, the illustrations are clear, and the
charts are very well done. Although this atlas is for older students,
these 8 and 9 year olds were able to glean information easily, and they
will be able to use them into middle and high school.
It was money well spent.

My 12 year old granddaughter introduced me to this atlas. She said it was part of her school work. The detail information and numerous maps were outstanding. I bought one for myself. Some evenings I simply sit with the atlas and, for an hour or so, become totally involved with its contents. It is not just for kids.
Just look inside the book here at Amazon and you will see how informative this 132 page atlas really is.

This atlas addresses the curiosity of those from 4 to 104. It is presented in a very eye appealing manner with colorful maps and an abundance of information. What is included are geographic features, political boundaries, as well as geopolitical, social, religious and economic statistics. I wouldnt suggest this atlas for those with a need for thoroughly comprehensive information but for the rest of us, it is both adequate and enjoyable.

This atlas is very limited in maps of the world. It is helpful for miscellaneous information but not as an atlas, i.e. a book of world maps.

The only reason I didn't give it a 5 star rating is that the print is quite small. Great information in an easy to hold book.

Great Price, and almost exactly what I needed. I wish there were more geography of the body of waters. Still a great price

Great reference! Really nice pictures and very colorful. Lots of great information in it. I bought it for my middle school-er, but my elementary aged child loved it too. It is a great learning tool for not only school use but just to have at home.
