Find Best Price at Amazon"Ireland and Israel aren't in this book, but neither are Norway, Portugal, Denmark, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Ukraine, Turkey and several other European countries, along with every central American country, all nations in the Caribbean, the Philippines, South and North Korea, Indonesia, most of Africa and many others I'm not going to list. It's funny to me that the absence of both Ireland and Israel were highlighted in the reviews, since both countries have an entire book devoted to them by Sasek."
"Purchased for the younger ones, and the teens couldn't put it down."
"Love this book, it’s like an educational where’s Waldo in that you can spend hours looking at all the picture details."
"European pages are packed with famous and semi-famous Europeans; African pages are packed with exotic animals."
"This was a gift for our grandson and He was thrilled with it!"
"i think i've bought six of these books, five as gifts: this is a beautifully designed, wonderfully executed atlas which is perfect for a bright and motivated child but perfect for not-so-bright or motivated adults who just love maps and atlases."
"It is, indeed, Maps."
"I do understand that not all countries can be shown on this book but at least one or two countries representing Central America, the Caribbean and the Middle East."

Jam packed with the latest data, bright, bold images, large maps, a brand-new design, and lively information about the world’s land, people, and animals, the third edition Beginner’s World Atlas will be the most up-to-date world reference for kids ages 5–8. A portion of all National Geographic proceeds is used to fund exploration, conservation, and education through ongoing contributions to the work of the National Geographic Society.

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"I couldn't stand Disney's extreme "makeovers" on all the princesses, where they glammed them up by not only giving them more makeup and fancier hair and clothes, but also changed their bodies and faces, making them taller, skinnier, paler, older and vapid. But in this book, the princesses look just like they did in the movies, very cute, more "real" (as real as a cartoon can get) and down-to-earth, with some personality."
"Book came nicely packaged."
"My daughter is three and loves to “cook” with me. Every recipe has a photo (I wish every cookbook was like that!). and a lovely drawing of the princess cooking it."
"Finally, being Disney fans, we love the artwork and my daughter always relates to the recipes and the characters who made them."
"Being involved in preparing meals is important and you have an opportunity to teach them math skills in a fun way."
"I love that they make the food pretty to eat, shaped like flowers in one."
"I really wanted a cook book to start with my daughter a few things here or there."
"This had recipes so cute and easy that I almost kept it for myself instead of gifting it to my kid sister."
