With more than 50 infographic maps, this illustrated world atlas for kids from bestselling author Louie Giglio will stretch your children's understanding of the world as they discover more about God, science, and His amazing world!
- an overview of each country's population, languages, and prominent features;
- key facts about the country's capital cities; neighboring countries; and the national bird, tree, and dish;
- notable people and their amazing achievements;
- the country's terrain, climate, wildlife, contributions to space exploration, cultural hallmarks, and Christian faith traditions; and
- biblical and inspirational pieces, like devotional thoughts, prayers, and Bible verses that highlight how amazing God and His world are.
My thoughts: I really look forward to each of the "Indescribable" children's books written by or under the guidance of Louie Giglio. They provide an entertaining resource for children's educational pursuits. They don't have to meld with a particular curriculum. They are simply books from which children delight to read and learn. They are on-topic resources that are dependable for articulating researched information.
In the Indescribable Atlas Adventures: An Explorer's Guide to..... readers will explore the continents and the countries. They will learn historical, geographic, and ecological information. Parents should realize that this is not an in depth atlas. It is a children's book intended to introduce and educate the young mind. It is delightfully attractive, beautifully colored, insightful, educational, factual. The book is large but not too large or heavy for a young child to handle. It isn't a toddler's book though kindergartners through about fifth graders will benefit from it.
As an atlas it does not show specific areas such as mountain ranges, capitals, rivers, etc. It is generalized and provides short factoids about the pictured area and/or components. Being a faith-based publication, it shares short encouragements toward faith as well as pointing out historic Biblical events or persons when appropriate. Generally speaking, this is a "soft-atlas" that introduces children to the world and is faith-based in intention.
I highly recommend this and other works from Tommy Nelson publications in the "Indescribable Kids" line of books.
