Some fun， informative maps on different topics。 The usual problem is the larger maps with the crease in the middle between pages。 It's difficult to see the part of the map in the crease and any information that is shown with colors。 I did find some maps difficult but they were usually ones that used colors that were pretty similar to each other。 These are just some issues but it's still worth looking through。 Some fun， informative maps on different topics。 The usual problem is the larger maps with the crease in the middle between pages。 It's difficult to see the part of the map in the crease and any information that is shown with colors。 I did find some maps difficult but they were usually ones that used colors that were pretty similar to each other。 These are just some issues but it's still worth looking through。 。。。more

I’ve enjoyed every book in this series so far， but this one made me sadder than all the rest。 We have to stop killing our planet…I did like learning about the wee-est animals on our planet though。

A quick read， maybe these maps are more intuitive then the previous book。 Still has the same printing the map so that Europe is stuck in the fold problem。 Also there are some errors。 （Gulf of Mexico labeled as the Mediterranean） My favorite map was countries where cattle， sheep， or pigs outnumber people。 What I learned: Denmark has more pigs than people。 Giraffe have different coat patterns， and the pattern can tell you what region of Africa they are from。 Mexico City is drawling so much of its A quick read， maybe these maps are more intuitive then the previous book。 Still has the same printing the map so that Europe is stuck in the fold problem。 Also there are some errors。 （Gulf of Mexico labeled as the Mediterranean） My favorite map was countries where cattle， sheep， or pigs outnumber people。 What I learned: Denmark has more pigs than people。 Giraffe have different coat patterns， and the pattern can tell you what region of Africa they are from。 Mexico City is drawling so much of its ground water that the city is sinking。 Tornadoes occur on all the continents but the American Midwest is an extreme outlier。 About 1200 every year for America and Canada is second with about 100 tornadoes annually。 The French sent the only cat into space， her name was Félicette。 。。。more

Fun maps present information in ways you might not think of。 Want to know the depth of the Earth's core as measured in miles？ It is here。 Or how big Pluto is on a map？ （That map surprised me。） Good read。 Fun maps present information in ways you might not think of。 Want to know the depth of the Earth's core as measured in miles？ It is here。 Or how big Pluto is on a map？ （That map surprised me。） Good read。 。。。more
