Anita Ganeri has won the Geographical Association Silver
Award. Born in India, she went to Cambridge University, then worked
as an editor before becoming a full-time author of children’s
information books, specializing in geography and the natural
world.
Stephen Waterhouse has been illustrating since 1998,
creating pictures for books, posters, cards, jigsaws, maps, advent
calendars, packaging, and magazines. In 1998 he won the Association
of Illustrators Student Section Gold Award.
With a level of detail likely to leave children intrigued rather
than overwhelmed.
—Kirkus Reviews
This book illuminates and sparks interest in the world at large,
with its friendly and clear illustrations, and fact-filled bursts
of text.
—New York Times online
Ganeri and Waterhouse offer a veritable fireworks display of
information, with doublespread pop-ups for each of the seven
continents. The book is loaded with facts, native animals, major
landmarks, flags, record-breakers, and more. Perfect for the
rocking-chair traveler, and helpful with those inevitable school
reports — it’s also interactive, complete with a pull-the-tab
Panama Canal and a turning wheel of Asian products.
—The Boston Globe
Elementary-aged children are likely to spend hours with the
information-packed visual treat MY POP-UP WORLD ATLAS.
