SuitabookThe New York Public Library Amazing World Geography
Andrea Sutcliffe
- Reading
- Browse the index together, invite the child to choose one question, then compare several entries and follow a reference where useful. Treat the book as a starting point rather than a complete account.
- Themes
- Geographical knowledge: The book presents itself as a collection of answers about world geography. Its apparent purpose is to provide informational answers rather than tell a fictional story.
- Reference and independent enquiry: The work is described as a book of answers and includes an index and bibliographical references. The structure appears to support looking up questions and pursuing further information.
- Worth knowing
- Before choosing it, check a copy for the subjects covered, the balance between physical and human geography, the treatment of places and people, and whether the layout supports the child’s preferred way of browsing.
