Brilliant pictures and information about flags for all around the world. Easy to read and lots of interesting facts.

I was excited for this purchase to play quizzes when kids come over. A bit disappointed to see Palestine missing as an independent country in the list.

I've always been a lover of flags, vexillologist, but that sounds catchy, so
this the book for me.

Not just pages of flags, but a good little history and them, from early
origins, early political symbols, at sea, special purposes, etc.

I liked it. It has a little paragraph about each flag. It talks about if the flag is upside down or right side up. It's really interesting. It talks about history of flags too.
