This is a brilliant first introduction to the countries of the world; I’ve spent many evenings with my children looking through the large double-page maps, which are filled with charming illustrations relating to each country and nuggets of information.

It’s fun learning about national foods, animals, famous people, cities, and buildings of each country. Now I know the Chinese use cormorants to catch fish, and the national bird of Nepal is a Himalayan Monal!

From James' list on get your children thinking about the world.
