I did gristle at little at the Leaning Tower of Pisa being called unique, when it hardly is, and the Statue of Liberty is not exactly made of stone, but there's little else wrong with this book. I used to love getting real life hardback copies of this publisher's junior non-fiction reads, and this is very much to their usual high standard – really very compelling visual design, two or three paragraphs and several captions for every huge double-page spread, and lo and behold you have an early geography lesson. Aussie readers coming to it cold will be stunned that you get what seems like a whopping introduction to your corner of the world, and only get one spread, devoted to Uluru, before we move swiftly on to cover Europe with much more comprehension, but the balance is generally pretty fine. Facts are conveyed easily, and concisely, and the work really does highlight things about this world we should be admiring, no matter what our age.

This is a perfect starter atlas for the little ones in your life. The illustrations are divine and engage readers of all ages. I know if I'd had this growing up I perhaps would know more about Geography than I currently do. I love that in a world of technology, there's still beautiful books like this helping children learn.

This would definitely be a great book that parents and godparents can give as a gift to young kids. It is a colorful and vividly illustrated book that is very eye-catching, thus making reading really worthwhile. I was never interested in checking out any atlas books when I was still young but if only I got my hands on this book, I'm certain that I would be more in fascinated into this kind of reference books.

Young kids today are quite fortunate because children's books now, such as this, are more engaging to read because of how they are carefully written and illustrated. I will purchase a physical copy of this if ever I have the chance to see this being sold in a local bookstore here in my country.

This is a wonderfully illustrated book! I would defiantly gift this to a child to expand their idea of the world and help grow their sense of adventure and travel. This is a great gift for a youngster in your life!

This is such a wonderfully informative book and the illustrations are great. It was a joy to work through this. I think kids (and adults!) of any age would enjoy this and have questions about the topics raised. I found out - amongst other things - how long the Great Wall of China is (my guess was appallingly low) and which Emperor ordered the building of the Colosseum. I also knew nothing about the Great Blue Hole in the ocean near Belize.

One (absolutely tiny!) note was that Tasmania looked to be its own country on the map of Australia. Everything else had Australia in brackets, which was the device used throughout the book (i.e. to detail that the city belonged to a particular country) but Tasmania was also used in brackets here.

I will be looking to buy this for a friend’s son - it would make a great gift.

Many thanks to NetGalley, Quarto Publishing - Wide Eyed Group and Ben Handicott for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Highly recommended.

I thank NetGalley and Quarto for this ebook.

You don't have to be a child to enjoy this book! It's full of fascinating facts and beautiful illustrations. There are descriptions of expected 'wonders' along with some unexpected ones. This is an informative and entertaining book that would be great as a gift for anyone.

This is a beautifully illustrated and interesting book. It is full of informative facts about the world. The illustrations are engaging and helpful. My daughter would have loved this book when she was younger.

Thank you to Netgalley for my copy.

A lovely, colourful and engaging book perfect for inquisitive minds, Atlas of Adventures: Wonders of the World helps engage children (and adults!) in the wider world discovering some of the most famous landmarks.

My children really enjoyed this, and it brought up a lot of inspiring questions about differing cultures and what we class as ‘wonders’, and why. The illustrations are particularly eye catching, and really help engage those who may otherwise have a short attention span! I liked the layout too. There wasn’t too much text to overpower the illustrations, by what was there was informative and relevant.

A great addition to our family library.
