Maps and globes can take you anywhere — to the top of the tallest mountain on earth or the bottom of the deepest ocean. Maps tell you about the world: where various countries are located, where the jungles and deserts are, even how to find your way around your own hometown. If you take a fancy to any place on earth, you can go there today and still be home in time for dinner. So open a map, spin a globe. The wide world awaits you.
A brief history of mapmaking, a simple explanation of how to read maps and globes, and an introduction to the many different kinds of maps there are.

Maps and Globes
We have been through this book several times, maybe once a year, and I think we pull a new fact out each trip. All the basic geographic concepts are covered.
From what the first maps were used for and what they looked like, through the age of exploration (features Columbus and Magellan), the differences between globes and maps, the language of maps (direction, hemisphere, longitude, latitude, meridians, parallels, equator, scales, elevation/ altitude, depths), closing with an overview of different types of maps (physical, political, local, etc.). And all this in 42 pages!
The illustrations are colorful and engaging through elementary level students, but probably too young for junior highers.
We will be holding onto this one for homeschool for years to come!
