Atlas of adventures is full of amazing illustrations and facts. It is a book that is a pleasure to look at and just flick through reading the fascinating facts and information about different parts of the world. Having a download copy does not do it full justice as it is definetly a book that I would love to have in the book corner of my classroom.
This book is one that any primary school should have in their library and could be used for geography lessons within the classroom. The focus on the Wonders of the World is really important as this is something that children need to learn about and be aware of, the book certainly makes me want to see all the wonders of the world. I am sure that this book will open up the world to children and make them keen to travel to see some of the places mentioned in the book.

Book feature on my blog. Added on Goodreads.

A great little book about some of the world's most famous - and impressive - sights. I'm proud to say I've visited a number of them.

This is a great children’s Wonders of the World book full of beautiful illustrations and amazing facts from all around the world. This would be a book I would love to own and could see myself purchasing as a gift.
As a homeschooling family I could see us really enjoying this book, and coming back to it from time to time.
I highly recommend adding this title to any classroom or family library.
Thank you Quarto Publishing Group and NetGalley for a chance to read this title in exchange for my honest review, my opinions are my own.

From the team behind the best-selling Atlas Of Adventures comes this awe-inspiring journey of discovery. Travel around the world to scale the Eiffel Tower, trek the Great Wall Of China and raft through the Yosemite Valley. Showcasing the globes most impressive landscapes, iconic buildings and evocative antiquities from both the modern and ancient worlds, this is the most wonderful Atlas Adventure yet!

"Atlas of Adventures: Wonders of the World" is a lively bright atlas of all the major wonders of the world. It covers nearly 30 wonders; both natural and man-made, around the world. Apart from the seven wonders, it covers some unique & magnificent places such as the Yosemite Valley, Northern Lights, Uluru mountains, the Neuschwanstein Castle, Angkor Wat, Easter Island and the Forbidden City.

The unique thing about this book is that instead of real life photos, it has beautiful illustrations of each wonder. Each illustration is highly detailed & colourful and each illustration is accompanied by some interesting facts about the place. The book is divided by continents and each continent has an introductory page with a map which shows the wonders within the continent.

The key wonders from each continent are adequately covered (Even Antarctica gets a page). The book is primarily aimed at the younger readers so the information with each illustration is brief but it's enough to make the reader want to explore more in future. In the end, there is also a hidden object game and a comprehensive index for locating the landmarks in the end, in case you want to explore more.
Overall, Atlas of Adventures: Wonders of the World is a wonderful little book full of fascinating facts and beautiful illustrations. This book is entertaining as well as informative and it would be great gift for readers of all ages.

This is a beautiful children's atlas for ages 7 and up. I think this would be a perfect gift book for elementary school kids. I plan to purchase a copy for our family's library. It's fun to read through cover to cover, but even better to flip through casually to read what catches your eye.

I love this book, it is beautifully illustrated and contains a good amount of information. Wonderfully interesting and engaging for children. Highly recommend

There's A Lot Here

I've found myself a bit surprised by how popular non-fiction books are with the elementary/middle grade gang. What with Harry Potter and all that you sometimes overlook the interest kids have in space, geography, STEM titles, and even history and biography. So, books like this aren't merely an eat-your-spinach nod by publishers to good reading; they are popular and well liked.

This book struck some nice balances. It is drawn; there isn't a photo anywhere. That means you lose a lot of detail, but it also means that essential elements of a site can be highlighted. Interestingly, this is a plus for some sites and a negative for others. Structures like the Coliseum jumped out as drawings. A site like Uluru, ("Ayer's Rock"), or Yellowstone loses a good deal of its majesty. And that makes sense and seems a reasonable price to pay for such an enticing lineup.

The other well thought out balance has to do with content. The text for each site contains enough info to really identify the site. Some basic background is provided, and a few odd details add spice. This is all fairly brief, (just a two page spread per topic), but it's enough to catch the reader's interest and introduce the Wonder. Thankfully, the author has not gone for puns and dopey bits that I think tend to trivialize the material or talk down to the reader, (although that's probably just me).

So, this was a snappy offering that had real appeal and decent content. It struck me as a nice find for a younger reader.

(Please note that I received a free advance will-self-destruct-in-x-days Adobe Digital copy of this book without a review requirement, or any influence regarding review content should I choose to post a review. Apart from that I have no connection at all to either the author or the publisher of this book.)

What a brilliant book!

I have just started to homeschool my daughter aged 7 and this has been a joy to look through.

It has so many interesting facts and illustrations that are set out in beautiful and eye-catching colours.

My daughter especially enjoyed reading about the various landmarks that, on some pages went into quite a bit of detail.

I shall be purchasing the actual book once it’s published to help with her studies.

Highly recommend.

I learned so much from "Atlas of Adventures: Wonders of the World", it is a refresher course on Geography for parents, and such an instrumental book to create tiny adventurers also. I love the illustrations, they are superb, and the description of the beautiful places that surround us is filled with so much detail, I feel in love with this book immediately.

I could see and plan so many projects from this book alone! So it is a great addition for a curriculum or a homeschool activity book, because it lends for the exploration of new places and of those places we already know, some really special local places to visit and learn from.

All in all a wonderful learning experience! I would recommend this book over and over again!

Well-drawn semi-cartoons show some of the most impressive places in the world, both natural and manmade. The drawings take up two pages and are full of small details, but very few of the sites get that treatment. For instance, the first section is Australia and Oceania, showing a map of the region with all the places featured, but only Uluru gets its own section.
I was very glad to see my two favorite places in the world—The Alhambra in Spain and the Glowworm Caves in New Zealand—make the list. Throw in the Charles Bridge in Prague, Petra, Chichen-Itza, Torres del Paine, and Ludwig’s Castle and I’m completely happy with this. The drawing for that last one is particularly well-detailed, but on the other hand the Alhambra left a bit to be desired, since I know it so well.
Can’t believe they filled two pages of notes and art on the Marianas trench.
At the end there’s two pages of things to search for amongst what you just saw, as well as an index.
All in all, great fun and a pleasant way to teach kids about the world.

This is exactly the kind of book that grabs my attention: a clear title (with a gorgeous font), and a beautiful visual sampling of what the reader will find inside the book. After perusing the cover, the delight continues with a beautiful world map with representative illustrations of animals or landmarks of each continent. The table of contents is divided into Continents and their respective wonders. A great complement to any world history or geography study.

Following the table of contents, readers will find good sized thumbnail images of each of the wonders they'll encounter in the pages of the book. Another feast for the eyes that adds anticipation for each location to be explored.

Each continent has an introductory page with a map that clearly shows the countries within that area as well as a brief overview of the area. Key "wonders" are included on that map and then explained in more detail in the pages that follow. Children can peruse at their own pace and digest as much information as they want to.

Don't throw out your traditional atlas but make sure you have this one on hand to introduce the world and all its wonders to the youngest of readers. Little ones can pore over the pictures, older ones can listen to a parent reading to them and developing readers can work their way through the bite-size captions sprinkled throughout.

At the end, there are more than 60 thumbnails of additional things for a child to go back and find throughout the book. And following that, is a very comprehensive index for locating countries and landmarks. This is a fabulous reference for any home, school or public library. Older readers may find a topic they'd like to research further with the help of a parent. Such a great way to engage a child's mind! This would make a marvelous Christmas gift for any age!

Disclaimer: I received a free digital copy of Atlas of Adventure: Wonders of the World from NetGalley for the purpose of review. No other compensation was received.

This is a lively bright atlas type drawn book, for young readers, with each continent shown and countries marked. Major landmarks are identified and some are visited on separate pages in full colour. These go from Uluru to the Taj Mahal to skyscrapers so do not relate to the seven wonders of the ancient or modern world. However they are all inspiring and famous, and would spark a history or geography project.
We could argue about our preferred landmarks which are not depicted - Britain is represented by Stonehenge - which is not a bad idea in itself.

I don't think adventures is entirely apt. Hiking and sightseeing is on all the pages with the odd look at surfing, climbing, snow sports etc in suitable locations but no story adventure occurs. Still, we do get the impression that tourists are enjoying themselves by being in the physical location of Yellowstone, say, rather than looking at it on a screen. Families and classrooms will find this fun and useful as a jumping off point.

I was let down by just one misprint; Libya is spelt Lybia. I actually Googled this to see if it was an accepted alternate spelling but no. I'm telling the publisher and this may get corrected when the book is sold.
I downloaded an e-ARC from Net Galley. This is an unbiased review.

Wow!

What a beautiful book. This is the perfect way to travel the world from the comfort of your couch and jammies. My eight-year-old was fascinated by the illustrations. We both learned more about the world. These are some of the best drawings I've seen in a children's Atlas. They're detailed and vivid. You feel inspired to go to the places in the book and to learn more about them. An excellent book!

Thanks to NetGalley for providing me with a digital copy to share my honest review.

I was provided with a complimentary copy of this book so I could give an honest review.

"Atlas of Adventures: Wonders of the World" is the latest in the best-selling "Atlas of Adventures" series by Ben Handicott with illustrations by Lucy Letherland. The series is a set of colorful atlases marketed for children. Each of the 96 beautifully illustrated pages contains short informative and fascinating statements about the wonder. The book is divided by continent "showcasing the globe's most impressive landscapes, iconic buildings and evocative antiquities from both the modern and ancient worlds". Many of the wonders are those you would expect to find but it includes a few surprising ones too.

At the end of the book, there is a cute and enjoyable "find and seek" of many of the pictures presented throughout the book.

This book is larger than a normal hardback book. Its dimensions are 11.2 x 15 inches which would help to be able to read the statements. The series is available as a hardback. Reading it as an e-book was difficult because the book needed to be shrunken to screen size.

It is highly ranked on Amazon for sales in both the "Geography & Cultures > Travel" and "Science, Nature & How It Works > Mystery & Wonders" categories as of 12/11/18.

I am a forever fan of these large format, paper overboard colorful nonfiction titles. They invite arm chair travel and opportunities to see the world up close. Having just spent a year traveling around the world, we delighted in having been to many of these Wonders of the World and this book captures the authentic experience of awe that they elicit.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This is atlas of some of the world’s amazing “wonders” and can be enjoyed by both older children and adults. It is filled with interesting facts and the illustrations are beautiful.

This is another absolutely beautiful addition to the Atlas of Adventures family. We got the Atlas of Animal Adventures last fall as part of the Torchlight K curriculum, so when I saw this was available I knew I had to check it out. I love it and will be adding it to our around the world study.

This is a gorgeous book for those of all ages who want to learn a bit more about the wonders that are in the world around us. it goes through the world section by section and has a map showing where all the wonders are situated on the map and then goes into detail what is part of each one and facts about it. A really enjoyable and beautiful read.

This is a wonderfully illustrated book, I would recommend it as a fun home library book for young boys and girls. It's one of those books that opens the mind to how beautiful and large the world is.
