Graphics look nice, but maps are a problem
You can't beat the price for this very colorful atlas with lots of pictures and graphs that kids will like, but it has a major flaw in that almost every map is split by the tight binding. Information is lost by being buried in the gutterless pages, which makes the maps almost usless. Hopefully, future Scholastic (and other publishers') atlases will be designed with a...

You can't beat the price for this very colorful atlas with lots of pictures and graphs that kids will like, but it has a major flaw in that almost every map is split by the tight binding. Information is lost by being buried in the gutterless pages, which makes the maps almost usless. Hopefully, future Scholastic (and other publishers') atlases will be designed with a map on one page and the graphs, pictures and info on the other. We had high hopes for acquiring such a reasonably priced atlas for our library patrons to use, and were very disappointed. It's a shame to waste such nice resources on poor layout.

Aside from the map issue, a mediocre student atlas,

This review is from: Scholastic Atlas Of The World (Paperback)
I chose this atlas out of a selection at Borders, for my middle-school-age child. We had purchased the Rand McNally "intermediate" atlas, which was supposedly for ages 9 and up, but it was too simplistic. This atlas provides a lot more information for the money. The maps definitely have an issue; too much is lost in the binding area. Aside from that, this seems to be a nice student atlas for basic project work -- by basic, I mean it is geared more towards continents and regions. If you want information about specific countries, which seems to me an obvious thing for an atlas to have, you will need to look elsewhere. Too bad!!
