Jam packed with the latest data, bright, bold images, large maps, a brand-new design, and lively information about the world's land, people, and animals, the third edition Beginner's World Atlas will be the most up-to-date world reference for kids ages 5-8.

True to National Geographic's reputation and legacy, we've created this atlas with the same care and attention to detail as our renowned adult atlases. "No one does maps or atlases with as much panache and knowledge as National Geographic," said the Washington Post. With completely up-to-date facts-at-a-glance, a glossary, pronunciation guide, and comprehensive index, this completely revised atlas takes young readers on a high-energy tour of the world and will be a must-have in every home and school. Vibrant colour, fresh design, amazing photography, and new icons will help kids quickly identify information related to land, plants, animals, languages and culture, and all aspects of the physical and political world. Parents and teachers will appreciate the front matter with information for children about maps and how to use the atlas.
