Description
About the book. Where in the World Can I See? uses maps, photographs and illustrations to find places where children can discover something special. Clive Gifford and illustrator Beth Walrond bring together nature, history and man-made sights in a geographical book of discovery. This edition was published in July 2026 and has 144 pages.
Content. The four main sections follow the physical world, nature, history and culture, and the modern world. Topics include volcanoes, waterfalls, sharks, dinosaur fossils, lost cities and rocket launches. The places are linked together through maps showing where different phenomena and experiences can be found. The sample pages shown include an introduction, a thematic map and a spread about glaciers and icebergs.
Who is this book suitable for? For children who ask where they can see something they have heard about, from an animal to a large building. The book offers several ways into geography, as it starts with a theme and follows it to different places. The English text can be read together with an adult, and the maps make it possible to compare distances and locations as you turn the pages.
Read together and discover more. Read together with an adult who can help with English words, and let the child point out what catches their interest. Choose one spread or theme at a time, and leave room for questions, pauses and their own associations. Pictures and text can be used in different ways; feel free to start by describing what you see in Norwegian. Return to a favourite theme at the next reading session and see if you notice new details. Connect the reading to something the child has experienced, seen or heard about, so that new words gain a familiar context. A short reading session can continue with a map or another book if a place or question sparks curiosity to explore further. Alternate between reading aloud and conversation, and let the child’s interest decide how long you stay with each topic.
