What Reviewers Are Saying
"With satnavs and maps on phones, we don't want to let map-reading become a thing of the past - it can be so enjoyable. With this practical book, children will learn to understand maps, make their own cartographic creations, and set out to find their own way around - there's even a compass included. I was fascinated by the plethora of facts included in the page margins, with with topical references for easy navigation and fascinating facts, such as "The Babylonians first mapped the stars over 2,500 years ago." The book is excellent for supporting KS2/KS3 geography, with explanations of topics including longitude and latitude, satellite navigation, bathymetric maps, how to read grid maps, and how to make a scale map of your house and yard. There are plenty of illustrations and diagrams to make it all clear, plus step-by-step guides to a range of projects. It's a great way to encourage children to get outdoors, and to explore - and don't forget that modern technology which will be a great backup to reassure parents that their children will navigate their way home."
