“Using the premise that simple drawings can be maps, the book begins with crayon drawings of the floor plans of the girl’s room and house. The concept becomes progressively more complex, as her horizons expand from home to street, to town, to state, to country, and finally to the world”.–”School Library Journal”. Full color.

World Maps – 10 benefits of owning and displaying a world map – part 1
Article by Maps International
In the following article I will examine some of the benefits that arise from owning and displaying a map of the world. Maps come in a range of styles and formats but which you choose will sure to bring you a range of benefits. Read on to find the educational and cultural benefits gained from owning and displaying a world map.
1. Art & Decoration A world map can add a real touch of elegance and charm to a room. An antique style world map or a world map in a wooden frame, adds an air of distinction.
Alternatively for a more modern look, a canvas world map makes a great alternative to a framed picture of photo. The bright colours and canvas textile make this world map bring a room to life. Canvas prints are gaining in popularity for use in home decor, and a canvas world map gives a trendy, modern look.
2. A fantastic Reference GuideMaps of the World make a great reference tool. When a country is in the news, do we always know exactly where it is or which countries it borders? A world map placed on the wall means that everything a country or city is in the news, or referenced, you can check exactly where it is.
Some high quality world maps. also have a panel of country flags along the base of the map. Again, this is a great reference tool and aids learning.
3. A Great Learning Resource Maps help children learn about the world that they live in. The world is a big place so seeing the country they live in, and how small it is on the map compared to other countries can help them grasp how large the world really is. Geographical knowledge can be learnt from a young age, and there is always something new to learn no matter how old you are. World maps provide not only the countries, but the capital cities and often, the approximate population size.
For the rest of the top ten tips read part 2 and part 3 of my articles on the benefits of displaying a map of the World.

A great introduction to maps & communities for primary ages,
In all my years as an elementary school librarian, this has to be the best introduction to maps that I have seen for primary grades. It is written at a 1.7 reading level, which makes it accessible to first through third grades. In our school, the third grade teachers do a unit on communities, and this title ties in beautifully with that.
I like the way Joan Sweeney starts with, “This is me” and builds the concept through “my room,” “my house,” “my street,” and on to town, state, country and the world. Then she goes backwards until she concludes with “…everybody has their own special place on the map. Just like me.”

|Simple text inspires days of fun, family activities,
My four year son and I love this book. I used this book and the mapping activities it inspires to teach my son our address. We basically recreated this book with all of its maps to establish my child’s very special place on the map (his bedroom, our home, our street, our town, our state, etc.)
If you like this book, try also: Me and My Family Tree.
