For the intended reader, the repetition of a corner globe
illustration with Africa highlighted [on most upper left-hand side
pages] leads to recognition of the continent on future maps and
globes. Creamy warm orange pages with overlays of softened
longitude and latitude lines visually support the fact that Africa
is an important continent on our earth. Maps and legends are found
throughout the book: world; population density; landform; and
Africa's country's border map all provide for deeper understanding
of the continent.-- "Denton ISD (Denton, TX)"
This series includes facts about each continent--the climate,
geography, plant and animal life, people, as well as the
continent's relationship to the world. At the beginning of each
book is a list of quick facts as well as a political map. Boldfaced
vocabulary words are defined at the bottom of the page for easy
reference, and photographs illustrate the text. Physical maps
illustrate the geographical information and population maps show
the demographic distribution. The information in each book provides
the reader with a complete overview of the continent. Teachers can
use these attractive, information-packed books for instruction and
older students can use them for research. The series will be a
staple for elementary school libraries, and would also be helpful
for lower level middle school readers because the information is
written in a clear, concise manner. Recommended.-- "Library Media
