SuitabookThe most stupendous atlas of the whole wide world
Simon Adams
- Reading
- Browse together first, sampling several sections before committing to a full read. Encourage the child to compare maps, labels and explanations, and to flag claims or topics they would like to investigate further.
- Themes
- Exploring the world through reference information: The book is presented as a children’s atlas within a reference-book series, suggesting an organised exploration of the wider world. Its apparent purpose is informational exploration rather than a narrative viewpoint.
- Worth knowing
- Before choosing it, check whether its coverage matches the reader’s interests and whether maps, illustrations, labels or longer explanations dominate. The title alone cannot show how places or communities are represented.
