I always say， you can't go wrong with DK， and this book is no exception！It is chalk full of information and beautifully illustrated。 Measurements are in "American，" as well as the Metric system。For each continent， there is a brief paragraph about the area， a color map that showcases the location of each country， as well as the bodies of water that surround the area， a scale （distance）， small photos and / or other illustrations of places or things you might find in the area。 Within each continent I always say， you can't go wrong with DK， and this book is no exception！It is chalk full of information and beautifully illustrated。 Measurements are in "American，" as well as the Metric system。For each continent， there is a brief paragraph about the area， a color map that showcases the location of each country， as well as the bodies of water that surround the area， a scale （distance）， small photos and / or other illustrations of places or things you might find in the area。 Within each continent， unless it is a large country， such as Turkey， countries are illustrated in twos and threes， i。e。 Iran， Iraq， and Saudi Arabia or all of North Africa is put together on a couple of pages。 As with the continents， there are colorful maps of the country / countries being shown。 They show where the deserts， sand dunes， rain forests， and mountains， etc。 are on the maps。 Major cities are also pinpointed， as are points of interest。 There are also photos / illustrations of people， places， or things that may be found here。 Again， there is a scale that measures distance， but there is also a "Key" that shows produce， activities， and industry that may be found in these countries。 At the end of the book is an "Atlas Picture Quiz" where they show the country and give you a brief hint， but you have to name the country - remember this is for kids， so while not super easy， it's still not that difficult。 I got 10/10。There is also a "Guess the Icon" page， with clues， and an answer key for all of this。The last few pages contain a Glossary and Index。 Spectacular！ 。。。more

Informative and beautifully illustrated。 My 3-year-old loved it and learned a lot from it。 The book prompted a lot off great questions and made my kid want to learn more。

What an incredible atlas bursting with up-to-date information about the different countries around the word。 Loved the concise descriptions and the fact that the pages were not cluttered with trivia。 Highly recommended as an introductory text for young geographers。
