Har du någonsin funderat på varför flaggorna ser ut som de gör? Hela världens flaggor berättar de roliga, intressanta och ibland gripande historierna bakom de många olika sorters flaggor vi har, och beskriver hur de används. Lär dig hur flaggor uppstod och hur man kommunicerar med dem till sjöss. Fnissa åt lustigheter ur flaggornas historia och häpna över de vackra och ovanliga figurer som finns på somliga flaggor - drakar, vulkaner, smileys och till och med mattor! Läs om hur Lichtenstein och Haiti upptäckte att deras flaggor var identiska, och vilken nationsflagga som ritades av en femtonårig skolflicka. Varje kontinent har sitt eget kapitel där historien bakom de mest betydande flaggorna utforskas. Det finns också idéer för att designa en egen flagga och ett kul avsnitt med flaggfrågesport. Längst bak i boken finns en affisch som kan tas loss och sättas upp på väggen. En perfekt bok för alla barn som älskar flaggor!
