Take an unforgettable trip to the world's most spectacular cities through this richly illustrated atlas! Did you know that you could board a real aircraft carrier in New York or solve a case like a real private detective at London's Sherlock Holmes Museum? You'll learn these and other fun facts in City Atlas. On these detailed, information-packed pages, Eric and Iris, a travel-savvy brother and sister team, reveal all about the places they've been. You'll visit monuments and museums, learn interesting trivia, and discover cool things to do in cities ranging from Lisbon, Paris, Amsterdam, Moscow, Cairo, and Cape Town to Beijing, Mumbai, Sydney, Rio de Janeiro, Toronto, and Washington, DC. For each metropolis, you'll get a map of where it's located, the flag and language of its country, and whether it's considered small, medium-sized, big, or a megalopolis. Are you ready for an adventure? Ages: 8 and up

The world can be seen from many different viewpoints, but one of the most interesting is certainly food. Don't we always say, "we are what we eat"? Therefore, a particular food will reflect the culture, the tradition and the relation to nature of the people who created it. This book travels the countries of the world to reveal the secrets of the typical dishes. The reader will discover that the tapas, the typical finger food of Spain is called that because they were used to plug a glass of wine (tapar in Spanish), or that the first pizza was given the name of the Italian Queen Margherita. The drawings of the dishes on the maps take the reader on a journey through the flavours of the world, enriching their understanding of traditions and, why not, stirring the appetite. Ages: 8 and up
