These pictorial maps are designed for young readers and include information on historical and cultural cities, tourist attractions, local customs, fauna and flora. Open-ended questions ensure that children can easily find out what they want to know - and a lot more besides. An index of the world's countries and national capitals makes it easy to locate a specific place or area, while the list of geographical features, facts and figures - including the longest rivers, highest mountains, deepest oceans, and the coldest and hottest places - are all designed to hold children's interest.
