Maps -- they help you get where you want to go. People use road maps to find their way. These maps show miles of highways that point out the right direction. But what about the crow? What kind of map does he use? Or the eagle, the rabbit, the horse, and the sea gull? What's on their maps?

Very Cool Children's Introduction To Maps,
By Paul Martin (Waukesha, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: As the Crow Flies: A First Book of Maps (Paperback)
Good reading for 3-8 yrs. This book wins big points for originality. It serves as a good tool for demonstrating how places relate to each other and exposes them to the concept of maps. They are very basic maps--landmarks only--combined with good illustrations, that make it so easy for children to comprehend.

The best introduction to maps I've seen,
This review is from: As the Crow Flies: A First Book of Maps (Paperback)
This is a wonderful way to introduce kids to maps and mapping. The concept of showing the world through a series of eyes invites the child into maps in an innovative and meaningful way.

This review is from: As the Crow Flies: A First Book of Maps (Paperback)
This is a great book from the 'teaching the concept' point of view, but what it more it is beautiful (great art work) and sweet for little chidren, with each map introduced through teh eyes of an animal's travels.
