The Cat in the Hat introduces beginning readers to maps -- the different kinds (city, state, world, topographic, temperature, terrain.); their formats (flat, globe, atlas, puzzle); the tools we use to read them (symbols, scales, grids, compasses); and funny facts about the places they show us: Michigan looks like a scarf and a mitten! Louisiana looks like a chair you can sit in! Part of the Cat in the Hat's Learning Library series.
by Jack Knowlton
This book contains a brief history of mapmaking, a simple explanation of how to read maps and globes, and an introduction to many different kinds of maps. Maps and globes can take you anywhere -- to the top of the tallest mountain on earth or the bottom of the deepest ocean. Maps tell you about the world: where various countries are located, where the jungles and deserts are, even how to find your way around your own hometown. If you take a fancy to any place on earth, you can go there today and still be home in time for dinner. So open a map, spin a globe. The wide world awaits you.
