aminuteorless Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Does anyone know of a list of picture books (for a 4 yr old) that I could use to introduce different countries? He likes maps. For example, we read a Madeline book, and he really enjoyed seeing where France was on the world map. I don't want a full fledged geography curriculum, just a list of picture books. We read bunches of books, and I think we would enjoy this type of organization for our read alouds. thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cactus flower Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 My library has lists like this available, divided into age groups. Videos are included. Ask your childrens' librarian. If none exists, maybe you could create one as you read and give it to the library. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
