What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. This is a purely informational, secular science and social studies text. It focuses on geography, landforms, and some basic facts about each continent.
Ideal Reader
A 5 to 7 year old who has just started asking about maps, globes, or where different animals live. This is for the child who points to a spot on a map and asks "What's this?" It is also a great fit for a kindergartener or first grader who is just beginning to learn about the world in a more formal school setting and needs a simple, confidence-building overview.
Parent Prep
No prep needed. The book is self-contained and very direct. It is an excellent "read cold" book. Parents might want to have a globe or a larger world map handy to reinforce the concepts and locate their own continent together with their child. The child saw a globe in their classroom and came home full of questions. Or maybe they watched a nature documentary about penguins and asked, "Where is Antarctica?" The parent is looking for a book that can provide simple, clear answers to these big "where in the world" questions.
