If money were no object I think I would practically buy every single kids book out there. But since I can’t do that, I have to be selective about what I buy. And when I come across a fab book I always like to share it here. While browsing for new books today, I remembered a book that I bought a while ago but hadn’t shared here. And it’s definitely one worth recommending. It’s simply called Maps and is a series maps of a range of countries.
Traveling is a big part of our lives and with that goes learning about different countires, different food, different cultures and different people. This atlas book is a great introduction to learning more about the world we live in without leaving your home! When we first got the book Anya poured over it and was especially interested in looking for places she has visited. But since then both us of us often went back to the book and discovered something completely new about a country we haven’t visited. Each country’s map has many details of things like famous landmarks, animals that are local to that country, national food dishes and so much more all beautifully illustrated often with humour thrown in too. The book is large – nearly 40cms tall – making it easy for 2-3 kids to pour over it together or for you to snuggle up on the sofa and enjoy it with your kids. Also this large format adds to the striking looks of this book and this book is indeed very beautiful – think coffee table looks.
Maps by Aleksandra Mizielinska is a book that we’ll keep and enjoy for a long time. It’s the kind of book that once you have on your shelf, you’ll always go back to and it’s so enjoyable for adults and kids alike. This book makes a great gift too – I must have already gifted it about 3 or 4 times and have had great feedback from the recipients. Maps is definitely the best atlas book for kids that I’ve come across.
Hi! These maps look great! I’m going to have a look. Thank you for the tip! Best regards from Barcelona, Spain,

Hi Marta – it really is a lovely book. I only recommend books that we genuinely enjoy and I think this one is unmissable. I think it comes in a few different languages also so you might find a Spanish version if that’s better for you. Thanks for stopping by!
Love, love this book! We enjoy exploring the world with this book; it’s perfect for all ages. My youngest enjoys spotting things on the pages, and big sister likes to read aloud interesting facts… You always have such great book recommendations, Nomita!
Thank you Sandra – I do love kids books and really would buy each and every one if I could! We too adore this atlas – I think I love it just as much as Anya does.
This atlas is fab. Hubby is a geographer so maps are a bit part of our life. Would make a great present for my little man’s 7th birthday (where do the years go?). x
What an interesting profession! I do recommend this atlas – it’s really fun and engaging. And I love it just as much as A does.
This looks absolutely stunning, and very child friendly in the way it’s laid out. We have a huge map of the world on the girls bedroom and they love it 🙂
I love map walls – they look amazing and they are so engaging too. A loves this map book especially as there is so much to discover in it.
My favorite too!! I am addicted to kids book. I want to buy all of them!
Fab book, isn’t it? Maybe we should start some sort of a book swap club 😉 If only we lived closer we could have!
