As children, we both loved stumbling across a book too heavy to even lift, let alone open and read; a book full of facts and numbers; a book whose story you discovered through its ideas rather than its prose. What makes Maps so special, aside from its fantastic and unique illustrations and fun and quirky facts, is the sheer atmosphere it creates and the feeling of discovery you get from turning its pages. All used books might have various degrees of writing, highliting and wear and tear and possibly be an ex-library with the usual stickers and stamps.

The few adults who have picked this up in my house and had a quick look through it have all said how good it is. That is not a boast; you really get a strong sense of each country and feel like you've really been on a journey if you read it cover to cover. I like the way that the European section travels southwards from Iceland, which means that countries such as Croatia and Romania are given equal space alongside the perhaps more familiar France and Spain.I love books like this that that introduce geography and culture to children without them realising that they are actually learning! The country pages are very detailed and all include the flag, capital city, the languages spoken, population, and area as well as a host of other illustrations about the country including the wildlife, food, buildings, famous people and many more. This book is so informative, and generates so many conversations for learning about the world - Geography, Cultures, Language, Food, Animals, History, etc.

Much more than an ordinary atlas, this book of maps is a visual feast for readers of all ages, with lavishly drawn illustrations from the incomparable Mizielinskis. The oversized coffee table book has double page spreads of each map, beginning with a world map then split into continents, with maps from a selection of countries from that continent behind the continent map. This beautiful large-format poster book lets you put the world on your wall with the gorgeous images from Big Picture Press s bestselling Maps.This is an innovative approach to geography which will keep young and not so young, discoverers coming back again and again to pore over the quirky, delightful drawings. I bought it for one of my grand-families, and so loved the look and feel of it that my husband bought ME one for Christmas! I've spent a lot of looking at the pages with my nephew aged 7 and he has been fascinated with the book. The countries are illustrated with animals - both current and prehistoric - which makes retention of facts so much easier.
