"Tänk vilken underbar resa man skulle kunna göra tillsammans genom denna bok, gamla och unga i olika åldrar och med olika intressen."
Barnboksprat, Marit Jonsson
"Inbjudande... väcker upptäckarglädje och nyfikenhet"
Bibliotekstjänst, Birgitta Mark
Barnens atlas lockar fram upptäckarglädje och nyfikenhet. Boken lyfter fram det särskilda med varje kontinent och land kultur, levnadssätt, kläder, mat, sporter, sevärdheter, landmärken med mera.
Atlasen är tydligt uppdelad i kontinenter. Först får man en helhetsbild av kontinenten, sedan går man uppslagsvis närmare in i detalj. Markerat på kartorna finns land, städer, sjöar, hav, floder, öar och berg. För varje kontinent finns även snabba fakta som största stad, längsta flod, vanligaste djur med mera. Här finns också tips på vad man inte ska missa om man reser hit.
Fotografier varvas med illustrationer. Boken är färgsprakande, men samtidigt tydlig i sin layout och har uppdaterats med nya landnamn och gränser. Detta är den andra, reviderade upplagan.
