5.0 out of 5 starsA great introduction to maps & communities for primary ages
By A Customer on May 25, 2001
Format: Paperback
In all my years as an elementary school librarian, this has to be the best introduction to maps that I have seen for primary grades. It is written at a 1.7 reading level, which makes it accessible to first through third grades. In our school, the third grade teachers do a unit on communities, and this title ties in beautifully with that.
I like the way Joan Sweeney starts with, "This is me" and builds the concept through "my room," "my house," "my street," and on to town, state, country and the world. Then she goes backwards until she concludes with "...everybody has their own special place on the map. Just like me."

5.0 out of 5 starsSimple text inspires days of fun, family activities
By IdeaMom on August 5, 2000
Format: Paperback
My four year son and I love this book. I used this book and the mapping activities it inspires to teach my son our address. We basically recreated this book with all of its maps to establish my child's very special place on the map (his bedroom, our home, our street, our town, our state, etc.)
If you like this book, try also: Me and My Family Tree.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat for Classrooms!
By A Customer on December 13, 1998
Format: Library Binding
This book is a great one to share in the classroom as an introduction to mapping. It begins with a girl making a map of her room, her house, her street, etc. Followup activities in the classroom that work well are mapping a student's room, house, classroom, and school.

5.0 out of 5 starsmaps and more!
By feline on May 1, 2006
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Excellent book! Not only it teaches about maps (from the map of your room to the map of the world) and geography but it is also excellent for teaching about

* sequences and patterns (each page follows the same template, expanding from the room to the world)

* spacial rotation and visualization (a map is a view from above)

* abstract represntation (a map is a schematic view, a model, of the objects it represents)

* permancence, presistence, and the transient nature of objects and their location (what should be on the map? - toys, books, socks?)

5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent Choice
By A Customer on June 23, 2002
Format: Paperback
This book is simple yet engaging. My 4th grade students gained a deeper understanding of their location in this vast universe. They were able to follow the book's example and create their own personal map book. I believe this book should be a part of every elementary classroom.

5.0 out of 5 starsCute Book, helps kids put the world in perspective
By A Customer on December 1, 2001
Format: Paperback
I love this book. It helps kids relate the reality of their world to the world as a whole, It also helps them understand maps, which are really fairly abstract. It starts with a picture of a little girl in her room, and, on the facing page, her drawing of a "map of my room". Then it shows her house, and her "map of my house". Then the street, with the house on it, then the town, with the street on it, etc. The pictures zoom all the way out to a view of the Earth from space. My daughter loves it, and has drawn "maps" of her room, our house, etc. like those in the book

3.0 out of 5 starsGreat content binding faulty
By K. Reitman on March 13, 2012
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Thie content in this book is great. My six year old was intrigued by the pictures and it really helped him understand how he fits into the world and the idea of starting with the smaller location of home and moving out to a world view. The book spawned lots of discussion about where we live in relation to the world, state, city town and in relation to others we know. My only problem with this book is that it fell apart as soon as we got it. The binding in the spine came apart and the pages started falling out the first time we read it. Amazon replaced it promptly , that was great. However, the new copy is also not bound very well and starting to come apart. We read it very carefully...not ideal for a book made for young readers! It is a shame because it is a really good book. The binding is bad.

5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent Geography Book for Preschoolers
By Adele Rivera on March 20, 2011
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
My 3 year old was learning about her home address, neighborhood, city and state in pre-school and i was looking for an age appropriate book to supplement the teachers lessons. This book is excellent. It uses simple sentences and helps illustrate basic pre-school geography. The teacher even asked to borrow it.
