As a homeschooling mom, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this book to teach my seven year old about geography and maps and where we are in our world. It's starts off with you in your house, then your neighborhood, then your town, then your state, then the US, the the world. It allows younger minds to wrap around the concepts of distance that can be confusing. I even learned concepts I never really thought much about. All the books from this publisher (Little, Brown)are good (The Book of Where, the Book of Think, The Reasons for the Seasons, Blood and Guts, The Backyard History Book- all awesome!)

I just got this book yesterday to use with my 7 & 9 year old in our homeschool. I read through it and can't wait to actually start doing all the things with my kids. This isn't your normal geography book - and that's a good thing. In fact, another homeschool family is going to be going through the book with us because they have their own copy and love it, too!

It puts the world into perspective beginning at your very own home. You don't just learn about maps, you actually make your own! Not only do your learn about the compass, you make your own! You also learn about different cultures and landforms.

As the back cover states, "Most of us live on great big hunks of earth that move around like dinner plates." They also say, "It's a trip around the world in 119 pages." Amazing stuff!
