This was a wonderfully bright and informative book about the history of flags. I liked the way that it represented every country and had them separated by region, which really made the facts about common colors and symbols more accessible. Definitely going to want to buy this one for the library.

Well done, informative middle grade or younger book on flags of the world. As the title says, terrific flag facts.

I had a lot of fun reading this, and had a few aha moments.

This is the history of flags, all the flags of the world, and origins of some of the flags, as well as famous flag planting, such as Edmund HIllery and his Shirpa Tenzing Norgay, planing their four flags at the top of Everest.

Or the idea of having flags for your professional guild.

The flags of the world are done by continents. Very well organized, and easy to find out just about everything you might want to know about flags.

Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.

Flags, flags everywhere! I love flags. Im 54, and really it's only as I get older that I appreciate what one single flag has to say. I study them all. I love the meaning that you can find in them. Some flags you can look at and think hmm, what the heck? But, when you look into the thought that went into that flag, then you can really think...yeah, I get that! For me it's not just flags, its sigils, standard bearers....standard bearers are especially brave to me. They're kind of like the drummers, or bagpipe players who walk ahead of the Army...Just playing, and representing! I'm going to give this book 5 stars because the text was decent, but as an arc, man it was rough going. The pictures were very substandard. I realise that in a book this will be improved, but why put out an arc that's so hideous? My thanks to the publisher's, and netgalley. AGAIN, TO BE CLEAR, MY ISSUE WITH THIS ARC WILL BE FIXED IN THE FORTHCOMING BOOK. They always are. Yep, I'd recommend this book. Especially if you have an interest in flags, and their origin.

Lovely book - great mix of facts and trivia. I really like the illustrations. This is a good book to read either with a child, or for them to dip in and out of independently. A fun way to introduce history and geography!
