Product Description
Much more than an atlas, this book is also a virtual travel experience! It includes more than 40 maps, 30 feature articles on famous places, and 46 eye-popping 3-D photos of the world’s most interesting sights. Readers visit the Grand Canyon, look down from the top of the Eiffel Tower, ‘snorkel’ in the Great Barrier Reef, peek inside a blue ice cave in Antarctica, and more! Physical maps are also rendered in 3-D, so mountains bulge out from the page.

My Review: This book is so awesome! What a concept – 3-D World. The pictures are great! I brought this into my class and the children fought over who would look at it during free time. I had to make up a schedule! They could look at this book for hours – and just to think of all the learning that will sneak into that time! I noticed this book is in our January Scholastic book order, and I can’t wait to see how many of the children order it. I highly recommend this book – children LOVE it!

Thanks for bringing this book to my attention. My grandkids (7 and 5) love my big book atlas. I know they’ll love this – what with the 3D pictures and all.
