Synopses & Reviews
The world has changed since 1991. There are even ten more countries, from East Timor to Palau. But one thing hasn't changed-the need for kids to learn their geography, and to have fun doing it. Introducing the revised edition of
My World and Globe, the 558,000-copy bestselling book and kit whose praises were sung by
Better Homes and Gardens Guide to Children's Products-helps kids . . . understand everything from animals and oceans to explorers and the equator.
Child magazine--comes with a child-friendly geography book, an inflatable globe, and stickers so kids can customize their globe--making the world their own. And
The Los Angeles Times [explains] everything from how a map maker puts a round world on a flat page, to why it's night in Los Angeles when it's morning in London.
The package is irresistible, combining a fully illustrated book with an inflatable, custom-designed 18-inch globe printed with basic physical features, with 110 full-color stickers. The book is revised throughout, and redesigned for a contemporary look. The included stickers are now durable vinyl and reusable, so after putting the banana sticker where bananas grow and the I Live Here arrow where it belongs, kids can peel them off and start all over again--or have a friend or sibling give it a try. And the coolest new feature: The new square package includes a cardboard display stand, allowing kids one and all to show off their world.
