Description:

Maps are about far more than getting from a to b. Maps can help children understand and explore both their everyday environment and faraway places.

With an appealing search-and-find technique, Follow That Map! is an interactive picture book that explains and demonstrates key mapping concepts.

Kids will enjoy following Sally and her friends as they search for Max and Ollie, a mischievous dog and cat on the lam from the backyard. Sally and friends take an imaginative trip through the neighborhood, city and country, around the world and beyond.

Kids can join in the search for Max and Ollie, who are hiding somewhere in every map. An activity at the end of the book shows children how to make a map of their bedroom.

Young readers will learn:

the basic parts of a map, such as a legend or key, symbols and a compass rose
how to read different types of maps, such as weather maps and topographical maps
important mapping concepts, including cardinal direction and how to measure the distance between two points
how to create a map of their own room

Scot Ritchie is an award-winning illustrator. His illustrations have also appeared in Maclean's, The Wall Street Journal, and New York magazine.

This attractive book is suitable for children ages 4–7.

Price and availability subject to change. Shipping and applicable taxes extra.
