ladydusk Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 My two older kids are going to finish Memoria Press' States and Capitals next week. I asked them what geography topic they wanted to learn about next was. M-girl said "India" and N-boy "China." Help! Are there any living book style books that look at physical and cultural geography for either of those countries (or Asia - which is too huge for one book I'd imagine)? They are both strong readers and can handle a longer book - but I'd rather it not be one of those "here are some facts about the country" books.

deerforest Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 We just discovered this series from Lonely Planet that is a mix of geography, culture, facts. DD devoured the South America one and wants me to order more. They might be worth checking out. http://shop.lonelyplanet.com/shopSearch?q=not+for+parents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
