I absolutely loved this and the illustrations! If I had kids I would definitely have them read this. Even as an adult I learned some good things from this book. Definitely recommend. Super cute.

Another wonderful addition to the ’amazing’ series. It is just as beautifully illustrated and presented as Amazing Evolution.
I love that the book not only gives the reader a historical look into discovery and makes a point of identifying those involved, but that it gives young readers their first taste of map uses and understanding.

A great picture book about explorers appropriate for upper elementary/middle school students. I loved the organization of this book - each explorer had pages dedicated to them and their expedition and the text was split into chunks of information accompanied by a picture. While some of the material is for more mature readers (the mention of cannibalism when discussing Mary Kingsley, for example!), this would be a great book for parents to read with younger children if they have an interest in a specific explorer. My 5 year old and I have been learning about Amelia Earhart and she enjoyed listening to the pages about Amelia in this book!
