Editorial Review: World Atlas, written by Nick Crane, illustrated by David Dean, and recently released by children s publisher Barefoot Books, is an unconventional beauty. --The Boston Globe This fresh and informative atlas offers engaging, fact-filled overviews of Earth s oceans and continents. Mini-books, flaps, and sidebars address topics ranging from People and Places to Transport. Dean s maps are crowded with warmly illustrated people, animals, places, and objects that represent particular areas of the world Ukraine is distinguished by a Cossack dancer and ornately decorated pysanka, and a ring-tailed lemur appears in Madagascar. With its emphasis on sustainability, interconnectedness, and diversity, the book offers young armchair travelers and globe-trotters much to discover. Includes a removable world map. --Publishers Weekly Broken down into major regions and illustrated with images characteristic of the area, this atlas of maps makes navigating the world s terrain a pleasure. Antarctica and the Southern Ocean, for instance, boasts pictures of the Vokstok Station, Adelie penguins, and a dog-sled team, plus krill and cruise ships. A facing page includes encyclopedic info on climate and weather, wildlife, and natural resources. Traversing Europe, North Africa, and the rest of the globe unearths equal charms. Ages nine to twelve. --Foreword Magazine
