I am a homeschooling mom with 5 kiddos. I got these workbooks for my 9 and 7 year olds. There are great! they introduce basic map and geography skills. The lessons are short and not overwhelming. My 9year old worked totally independantly and my 7yo did most on her own too. the pages are colorful and fun! Great fro the price! I am actually on here to order the intermediate books :)

I came across this book one day and decided on a whim to add it to our homeschool...I'm so glad I did! My son enjoys the activities and is learning a ton. The book is made up of 3 sections: Making Sense of Maps, in which kids learn about different types of maps and how to use them; Introducing World Geography, in which they learn about globes, world maps, continents, oceans, boundaries, hemispheres, the equator and prime meridian, latitude and longitude, and time zones; and Discovering the Continents, in which kids learn a bit about the geography, customs, culture, animals, and landmarks of each continent.

I homeschool my 5 & 6 year old boys. I'm using this book along with the Rand McNally Beginner Atlas. I absolutely love this activity book. It is a complete geography curriculum for young kids. The activities and map work are presented in a simple, easy to understand way. And, the kids learn so much from it. I love this book and highly recommend it!
