Buckle up! This interactive and colorful atlas takes young readers on a
hands-on journey all around the world. Discover the stories behind the
world's most iconic vehicles, including the countries where they were
invented and the places that they're strongly associated with.
Each page turned brings a new continent and its famous forms of
transport to life. Discover how the first aeroplane took flight in
America, the speed at which Japan's shinkansen bullet trains travel, and
when the first hot air balloon floated into the sky of France. Plus
we'll set sail to learn about the longships rowed by Scandinavia's
vikings and the icebreakers that are used to plough through Antarctica's
sea ice.
Featuring over 100 flaps that lift to reveal fun facts and the inner
workings of vehicles, this beautifully illustrated atlas will
turbocharge kids' interest in the world of transport and travel.
