About this title

Review:

Illustrations are bright and cheerful whilst still being visually informative. The level of detail will make the book very appealing to a young and diverse audiance-with facts represented equalyy through imagery and text. Bursting with educational activities, this book would be a fantastic resource in geography, global citizenship and literacy lesson (formal texts as well as oppotunities for creative writting), and it makes a wonderfull reference in the home.
