5.0 out of 5 stars
GREAT for 8-12 year olds,
By
This review is from: Maps and Mapping (Young Discoverers: Geography Facts and Experiments) (Paperback)
I've used this book with my grandkids visiting Montana. This is a little stretch for 8 year olds, but can become a game with an adult. Interested older kids will find it doable, especially if you can show them actual topographical maps that you use hiking. A great start to making kids aware of, and users of, maps.
