As the Crow Flies (Rise and Shine) Paperback – Picture Book, September 30, 1993

We enjoyed this book. It helped my young kids understand maps a lot better

This book is such a fun and simple way to introduce geography, various terrains and ecosystems and how they all connect.

This is a cute way to introduce maps to little ones by sowing maps from an animal's perspective. I loved how all the maps were combined together into one map at he end of the book. Then you can make your own maps from animal in your area like your pets, animals in your backyard, animals at the park, etc. I think it could be fun to make even a map from an ant's perspective or a migrating animals' perspective. This is a book that is far more useful to educational goals than I had originally expected. I am very pleased with my purchase.

I'm very pleased with how this book is written and illustrated! It makes beginning map reading very clear. I purchased this as a gift for a now 6 year old. I hope she likes it as much as I do and 'understands' the point! Next up, we need a book on teaching north/south/east/west! Not only for kids, but for the majority (sadly) of adults out there that are clueless as to what direction they travel/look at etc.

A very good book that shares a perspective of maps and map-making that many people overlook. How do animals see the world and how do they navigate? Great illustrations and wonderful text. An excellent choice to help introduce the idea of mapping to children.

We used this for maps and geography and is an excellent book for young children! My son has taken it and made his own amazing maps.

ok book

This is a lovely book to look at and young readers can't help learning about the maps!

Nice story to introduce maps.

For quite young children, maybe 4 or 5

nice book. A good book to read before introducing the idea of making local maps, maps of the house, treasure maps for the garden etc with your kids.
