This is one of a series of books for young geographers which use a visual approach to develop geographical skills. Each book starts with the children's immediate surroundings and then looks at people in other parts of the world, explaining the relationship between people and their physical environment. The books help to develop geographical skills such as using letter/number co-ordinates to locate features on a map and making a map of a short route. They also suggest how children can find out about their local area and explore the links between people and their surroundings. Teacher's notes with suggestions for follow-up work can be found at the back of each book. Barbara Taylor has also written "Waste and Recycling" which was shortlisted for the 1991 Earthworm award.
