Beginner's World Atlas from National Geographic

Large, easy-to-read maps introduce youngsters to the world and each of its seven continents. Stunning photographs, carefully selected for their appeal, supplement the maps.

The large format (10½" x 14") makes the photos and artwork come to life.

Statistical information about land, water, and people is included in a special World at a Glance section. Glossary, index, native greeting, and pronunciation guide are included. Published in 2011.
