This book o ers a creative approach for teaching young students about geographic concepts and mapping skills in the context of backyard, neighborhood, city, world, and space. I liked this book because it teaches kids how to read and use basic maps. This book explains all the key concepts of what a map has and how a map is used. It quickly gives examples on different types of maps. “Maps use symbols to help you find important places, such as the hospital, your school or your home. The symbols are explained on a legend or key.” I also like this book because it encourages children to participate in the book “Keep your eyes open. Somebody is going the wrong way. Who is it?” The main idea of this book was to teach children what a map is and how to use it. I enjoyed this book for several reasons. I liked how the author starts off with a story about a group of friends looking for their pets and uses that story to teach the reader about reading maps. For example, "Martin is getting close to the zoo. Which direction is he running? The compass rose on a map shows you directions such as north, south, east and west." The author relates a part of the story to an informational idea about compass'. This strategy keeps the reader interested, while he or she is learning about maps. I also liked how each page has a different illustration of a map. For example, there is a map of a city, a park, a neighborhood, and more. Each map includes symbols, legends, compass' or labels. This aids the reader in visualizing what each map tools looks like. I also liked that the information about maps is in bold on each page. This tells the reader that this part of the text is important to remember or important to read. The author also includes directions on how to create your own map at the end of the book. This book is very interactive and can easily engage readers. The big idea of the story is that maps can be helpful when taking adventures. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
