Why It May Be Worth Reading

This could suit a child curious about US geography or Georgia: it pairs a travelling character with introductory information, rather than concentrating on one topic in depth.

Read together and pause at the maps or fun facts to locate places and connect them with Mr Geo’s journey. Invite your child to choose one highlight to revisit afterwards.
