Kindergarten-Grade 2–While it is impossible to fully cover even the smallest country, let alone a continent, in 24 pages, these titles offer the right facts and images to stimulate the youngest armchair travelers and set them on the road to more detailed explorations. Each spread offers a page of narrative opposite a full-page illustration. The opening spread provides a world map with the continent highlighted and describes its size and location relative to the other continents. The books also discuss some prominent landforms and biomes and their animal inhabitants, and countries, cultures, and natural resources, in a large-print sentence or two each, opposite a clear color photograph. Some pages include Say it! pronunciation help, assisting readers with words additional to those covered in the glossaries.
