kitten18 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 We're going to do a run-through of Galloping the Globe this year. We're also doing SOTW 2 and some other U.S. History so I really just want to do a quick overview of world geography and learning a little about other countries. Galloping the Globe is a nice spine (has maps and blank pages to fill out for about 28 countries) but it doesn't have any information about the countries. I would like a book (atlas?) that would have 2 page or so description for various countries. I have The Usborne Essential Atlas of the World but it only covers continents, not individual countries.

Coco_Clark Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Children just like me is a great cultural reference. http://www.amazon.com/Children-Just-Like-Me-Celebration/dp/0789402017 I'm yet to find a really good geographical reference. So listening in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachel TX Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 The Kingfisher Geography Encyclopedia has one or two pages on each country that includes the flag, a map, and nice photos. A sample page: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momling Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 MP Geography I and II has a one or two page spread per country and a worksheet w/ map to fill in. It might be overkill with Galloping the Globe, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitten18 Posted August 21, 2014 Author Share Posted August 21, 2014 Thanks! Children just like me is a great cultural reference. http://www.amazon.com/Children-Just-Like-Me-Celebration/dp/0789402017I'm yet to find a really good geographical reference. So listening in. That looks great, I did want to include some cultural reference. The Kingfisher Geography Encyclopedia has one or two pages on each country that includes the flag, a map, and nice photos. A sample page: Yes, that's what I was wanting. Thanks for including the sample page, the sample pages on Amazon didn't have any of those country pages. It looks like a good overall geography reference. I bought a different edition for less than the $350 that is showing up for that one. :lol: I ordered both those books, used for $12.46 including shipping. :hurray: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
