Maps -- they help you get where you want to go. People use road maps to find their way. These maps show miles of highways that point out the right direction. But what about the crow? What kind of map does he use? Or the eagle, the rabbit, the horse, and the sea gull? What's on their maps?

Summary: I like it more than my little boy does
Comment: This is the sort of book that I wanted to be more interesting and effective than it really was, for my little boy. He is still a toddler, and maybe this would work for bigger kids, but he is advanced for his age and loves maps, so I don't think this was beyond him. In concept, it's great: it follows a stream, a road, a crow, a horse, etc. on their travels through the countryside, and at the end of each "chapter" it draws a little "map" for the journey of each. At the end of the book, there is a summation and then all of the "maps" are gathered together in one big map. This is presumably intended to teach the whole idea that maps are very small snapshots of big territories, and other basic concepts about maps. But I don't know that it conveyed much to our little boy. He likes it OK but he doesn't ask for it. But he does love his globe and maps. I rate this 4 stars because I personally would give it 5 stars while my son's excitement level seems around 2-3.
