This review is from: Africa (True Books: Continents) (Paperback)
This is a great book about a continent. Most of the time, these books are just boring, but this book makes Africa seem exciting! A very nice job and it will my students from Africa feel proud to be from there.

This review is from: Africa (True Books: Continents) (Paperback)
This book (1 of 7) is a good way to introduce that there are continents. It goes through the weather, type of landscape, people, etc. It is a nice book to have on hand for kids to flip through. You can read it to your 4+ year old or they can read it themselves in 2nd+ gread. Nice photos. If you want them to visualize there are 7 continents get these nice books. If you would rather just get them all in one get the National Geographic Beginners World Atlas! It has superb illustrations, great text, and makes a great book to leave out on your coffee table for easy flip-through! I woudl probaby just get the Atlas if I were doing it again, but these are nice books.
