The Kingfisher student atlas is a great resourse to have in the library. There are maps of Planet Earth, The world, The Poles, and each continent. Next to each map is facts about each area. Also included with the book is a CD ROM that features over 40 printable maps. This resourse would be great for kids who are writing reports.

I enjoyed looking through the book with my family. I learned to use the map key and ledgends with this book.

I would recommed this book to others. It is a very useful resource for students in grades 3-7.

I am very happy with this book. I spent a lot of time looking for a really thorough, well made one that my kids could all use. The content of the pages does not run into the crease, there is a space between pages so that all of the map can be seen clearly. Ihe front of the book there are brief sections on the Solar System, Earth's Structure, The Plates, Earthquakes and Volcanoes, Climate and Weather, Habitats and Biodiversity, The Human World, Feeding the World, and Population. There is a map of the Physical World and the Political World, The Poles, and each of the continents. The United States is divided up into four maps. Some of the other larger countries are also divided. The flags are shown beside their countries, as is the position on earth. There is a key to the map in the front of the book, but the elevation color key is on every page. At the end is a map of the Pacific Ocean. The maps are very detailed. Washington state shows 13 cities, 3 mountains, and names 2 rivers.

I bought this atlas as a homeschool reference. So far, each time we've needed to look up a geography related answer, we've been able to find the answer in The Kingfisher Student Atlas. My fifth grader has used the atlas for various geography assignments. The index is thorough and easy to use. We've not used the CD since we prefer to pull the book off the shelf and pore over the pages. I am pleased with the purchase; it was worth the money.
