A lively illustrated introduction to the countries of the world and the seven continents, this bright, playful atlas gives inquisitive readers just enough information to whet the appetite for exploration. Sprinkled with imagery that picks out a country's unique essence --like the giant squid and penguins of Antarctica, and a dragonfly-shaped kite from Vietnam's International Kit Festival--and trivia that informs, this atlas makes a great gift for curious kids.
