The Complete Book of Maps & Geography

Rating:
Summary: good resource, nice intro to Geograhy
Review: I am using this book, along with an inexpensive world atlas, as a Geography course for homsechooling my 1rst grader. My only warning would be that the exercises would be too easy, and thus boring, for any child beyond third grade. I certainly recommend the book for homeschoolers in 1rst-3rd grades.

Summary: An excellent introductory geography workbook for grades 4-6
Review: I teach geography to homeschool groups and I have found this to be an excellent beginning level book. It establishes a foundation for understanding the basics of the 5 Themes of Geography: "location, place, people & environment, movement, and regions". Any student (and parent!) who truly completes this workbook will have a solid grasp of the essentials of geography.

Summary: Good learning material
Review: My 7-year old son really enjoyed learning about the states and other geographical area. It is a good book for starters as it lets the children write as they learn.
