This interactive and colorful atlas takes young readers on a hands-on
journey all around the world. Each page turned brings a new continent to
life with a total of more than 100 flaps to lift, beautifully detailed
illustrations, and fun facts about different cultures, species of
wildlife and places to visit along the way.
Written by Kate Baker and accompanied by epic artwork from Liz Kay,
learning about the world has never been so fun or easy. Starting your
globetrotting adventure in the frozen Arctic tundra of North America,
you'll discover where the world's longest skating rink is located, where
you can swim with pigs and what exactly 'dog mushing' is. You'll then
travel on to South America to meet Amazonian Indian tribes, anacondas,
toucans and more.
Crossing the Atlantic Ocean to Europe, you'll explore Dracula's spooky
castle, the world's biggest snow fort and the story behind Norway's
trolls before peeping inside the treasure-filled tomb of Tutankhamun and
meeting some of the animal kingdom's world record breakers in Africa.
Next, you'll visit the mesmerising Taj Mahal, see where cuddly giant
pandas hang out and scare yourself silly with the legend of the 'Kappa'
river monster in Asia, then head down under to Oceania for vast coral
reefs, Polynesian gods and famous explorers. You'll finish your intrepid
journey with a trip to the planet's coldest continent, Antarctica, for
tales of South Pole adventurers, wild weather and more.
