Description
About the book. My First Lift-the-Flap World Atlas gives young readers their first encounter with the continents and oceans through maps, illustrations, and flaps. The book from Lonely Planet Kids is designed to be explored with both eyes and hands. It also includes a large fold-out world map that can be examined together with an adult.
Content. Wildlife, famous buildings, and cultural traditions illustrate some of the diversity found across the continents. The spreads are organized from an introduction to the earth through to North America, South America, Africa, Europe, Asia, Australia, and Antarctica. Search-and-find activities invite the child to spot details in the pictures. The text is written by Kate Baker, with illustrations by Teresa Bellon.
Who is this book suitable for? For families wanting an easily accessible English atlas to browse together. The book can be opened at a familiar animal or a place the child has heard of, and the map can provide a broader context. This ISBN is the 2023 board book edition. Flaps and a fold-out map are included in the book format, making it possible to return to the same spreads in several different ways.
Read together and discover more. Read together with an adult who can help with English words, and let the child point out details they want to explore further. Feel free to take one spread or one story at a time, and let interest guide how long you stay on each topic. Talk about what you notice, and connect the reading to places, animals, or stories the child already knows. Flip back to favorites; a fresh look can bring up new questions and discoveries at the next reading session. A physical book makes it easy to show each other a picture and share small discoveries without following a set order. Feel free to use a map alongside the book when a place name sparks curiosity, and find out together where in the world it is located. Alternate between reading aloud and looking at the illustrations, so that both text and pictures find their place in the conversation.
