My Map Book

I LOVE this book for teaching our kindergarten Map unit!! The pictures are very engaging for young learners, and as an added bonus, they were created by a child!! Once my students see the possibilities of maps that are included in this book, they are very excited to try their own! I would highly recommend this book as an addition to your classroom library!

Really cool tool in teaching children an introduction of maps. Done in kids type artistry and handwriting which made it fun for our son to read over and look at. This author shows maps of everything - kids can relate to - not just the town, etc.. but their home, bedroom body, and my personal fav - the girls heart. It was so adorable - her parents, special memories are mapped in her heart map. This right here is a great idea for a map of the heart as a valentine activity, and more off the pages can lead to lots of great mapping with your child at home - so many activities you can create with your child.

The idea of mapping our worlds is wonderful. I am hoping it will inspire my grandson, 5, to think about his own world in terms of mapping. The book is a joy to read.

My grandson is very interested in maps and this is giving him ways to build on that interest and expand his understanding.

My 4 year old son loved reading this book with me. But I'm a bit upset because it's missing pages. I've read this book before and mine doesn't have the "a map of my face"page

Spending time with kids who are learning to journal or keep writing notebooks - this story helps kids grasp the idea of "my life map stories"! A little "busy" on all pages, but gives a lot to talk about and creates good discussions on each of our own life's maps and stories, allowing for retelling in a journal or notebook!

I love this book, and there is a video on youtube of someone reading it, too.

This is a great intergenerational group book for grandparents and child. It could easily be adapted for a family night or a series of family functions. Teachers should have this book on their desk and use it for reference of things they do in school so that the children could weigh in on it in a concrete way. This is the best book ever!

I've used it today for the first time. Great result

There are so many ways that this splendid imagining can be enjoyed, from sharing and talking and wondering, to recreating and developing from. It is a great introduction to map skills for very early geographers also! Just so special!

A book full of quirky and wonderful maps. Bought it to use as part of a creative workshop on maps in books & it went down well with the yr 3 class.

Excellent thank you

could go deeper, but OK for an early encouragement
