I've used this as a geography read-aloud in our homeschool studies for 1st - 3rd graders. I start with Charlotte Mason's Beginning Geography, Maps and Globes by Harriett Barton, and then this book. Many ideas are introduced in this book so we take it slow and and tend to look up other books or videos as we go about whichever thing they want to learn more about. At that point I pause this book, we go learn more about that thing, then we pick right back up with this book... then do it all over again. It's an enjoyable way for kids to start learning about the world around them.

The only reason I knocked it from 5 down to 4 stars is that it references some evolutionary time references a couple times, which is one reason to keep it as a read-aloud rather than an independent reader. I can either change it as I'm reading or else stop and discuss, then move on.

This book would be a good tool to introduce students to various cultures. The colors in the illustrations are bright, therefore, the pictures will hold most students' attention. There are a variety of extensions that can be done with this book. A variety of cross curriculum activities can be done due to this book containing geographical information and fact about a variety of countries. Students can write about the most interesting place to them. Student could be provided with a minimum number of facts to include in this paper.

Nicely illustrated but there is one glaring error in the labelling of Wales on the pages about the UK. It is labelled in completely the wrong place which makes me worry about the overall accuracy of this book.
