This is a very thorough introduction to explorers and navigation for kids. It's filled with colorful illustrations and lots of history of how people around the world used the ocean, stars, sun, science, inventions and more to tell the time, find their location, measure their speed, figure out distances, etc. There are instructions for kids to replicate these on their own by making simple devices and using the knowledge themselves.

This is a really long, thorough book and I'm not sure how many kids would read all the way through without being really interested in the subject. It would make a good spine for a homeschool unit study, working math, science, history, etc. into a fun and educational topic.

I read a temporary digital ARC of this book for the purpose of review.

Early navigation and exploration and animals the original navigators. Other things - clues in trees, dunes, Lewis and Clark. It does have some activities that relate to topics. A good introduction to kids about navigating.

How To Go Anywhere (And Not Get Lost) By Hans Aschim is an awesome book about exploring for children. This is a interactive book that gets kids unplugged and out of the house—and teaches them cool navigation techniques to use while hiking, camping, or just exploring the backyard or nearby park. I love this book and my children do too! it is written in a easy to read fun way. My kids can pick up the book begin reading and plan their next outdoor adventure all while learning important life skills. The book starts by telling some of the history of early navigators. There are sections titled the sun and the stars, high-tech hits and high seas, the almighty map and compass, radio waves from Sea to space. Each section gives loads of information and even includes different activity's for the child to do. This book will teach your child how to navigate. This book will show your child how to make a map, how to figure out where North, South, East and West are. How trees can give you clues in finding your way! You can make your own star clock and much more! I highly recommend this book and think it would make a great addition on any child's book shelf. Every school library should have a copy as well.

This concept intrigued me, so I was excited to receive a compimentary copy of the book through NetGalley. First impressions are important, so it was disappointing to open the book and immediately see a worldview presented as fact when it is clearly unscientific. If the claim of "millions of years ago" is not supported by science, it begs the question of what other claims in the book are unreliable. All in all, I enjoyed the book and would recommend it to my students with the disclaimer. The book is broken into "bite-sized" pieces, and continues at a reasonable pace for grades 3-6. There are fun activities to reinforce the concepts. I imagine it as especially suitable for homeschooling families.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
My daughters and I love going on hikes and adventuring, so this was the perfect read for us! We tried out some of the neat ideas and they both thought it was the coolest thing.
The illustrations and layout is wonderful! All the bright colors are great and are very appealing, especially for children.
The way the author chose to weave history along in with the adventure tips was a very fun and original way to do it.
It’s definitely a book we’ll look back on anytime we’re wanting to explore outdoors and try a few new fun ways to get around and see “the world”!
