Isn't it exciting to share the world with a young child? All the wonders that are waiting to be seen for the very first time. As you open this cover, the first photograph inside is the island of Mont St. Michel, a wonder off the coast of France. What amazing questions and information that one image will evoke.
Seven chapters make up the organization of the good amount of information each one taking up a different continent. Within the chapter itself the subheadings are The Countries, the Land, The Weather, The People, The Animals, the Sights, and a unique Let's Go section that highlights a special creature, person or sight.
How do you take care of a penguin egg? How does a scientist watch an animal? Here's your chance to be an artist like Michelangelo.
We open to a map of the world so we can get ourselves oriented and then turn the page to a two-page spread of a bison herd in Alberta, Canada that is welcoming us to North America.
Large font, information encased in boxes, bright colors, and the trademark National Geographic photographs make this a rich, exciting, informative and comfortable exploration of our seven continents.
