I completely enjoyed this book. I would have been enchanted by it as a young reader and a thirst for travel would have immediately been born. It goes without saying that the illustrations are super successful of drawing the reading in. I found all the little footnotes and bits of information charming. They also help to create a volume that can provide something new to see of discover with each read. I think the pages for the Great Barrier Reef were my favorite and I liked the inclusion of the Holi festival, proving that adventure is not always just limited to famous places or landmarks. As a librarian, I would certainly purchase this book and place it in my middle school non-fiction section. As a parent, I would have loved to share this book with my child. I so appreciate having a chance to explore this book prior to publication.

Thanks to Netgalley and author LucyLeterland for Arc.
I loved this book and I am an adult. It was full of geography and cultural facts from countries and cities around the world. The illustrations were great. It reminded me how much I loved geography classes as a child and how the knowledge gained has served me well throughout my life. I am sad that it is not taught in schools anymore.
That makes this book all the more valuable for children and the adults around them to read and enjoy. Young children will like the pictures and will learn with an adult reading to them. As children get older they will definitely enjoy expanding their view of the world. It is a book that will be read and reread.
I highly recommend this book for all ages but it was written for children.

Really interesting information about a diverse selection of travel destinations around the world. There were facts about the animals, the environment, and the different cultures you'll encounter if you travel to these destinations. The artwork was amazing (DK Publishing utilizes the best illustrators, IMO) and I think kids (and some adults) will be captivated by this book.

Thanks to DK Publishing and Netgalley for the ARC!

The original Atlas of Adventures, but in resource-saving smaller size. If you don't know these books, a (generally slightly cartoonish) spread is peppered with factoids, so you can sort of build up some useful knowledge about Lapland, London or Louisiana paddle-wheelers. It's fun and engaging, even if it isn't strictly speaking a geography lesson – but it will show you that all the world is full of the interesting titbit of trivia, if nothing else.

Atlas of Adventures: Travel Edition by Lucy Letherland is a beautifully illustrated book filled with intriguing facts about locations around the globe. A perfect book to peak children’s interest in travel adventures. The book divides the globe into regions with specific locations given detailed two pages spreads highlighting adventures, traditions, festivals and interesting facts. It is a book children will want to pick up again and again, either to play the fun “search and find” activities or simply learn more cool facts about one of the highlighted locations. Overall a fun book for elementary and early middle school aged children.

I'd be remiss in this review to not first mention the end pages of this book. Both front and back covers have every inch filled with gorgeous illustrations of monarch butterflies and emperor penguins respectively. Stunning!

Broken up by regions of the world, this book "celebrates the great diversity of our planet". It's definitely a brief overview of the amazing locations and festivals in the world, but it highlights some fantastic locations and even great organisations such as Chiang Mai's Thai Elephant Conservation Centre. I really enjoyed the facts on each page, adding information on various subjects to local sights, language, festivals, flora, fauna and more.

A fun little extra when you get to the end of the book, is a "search and find" challenge for drawings on each spread

A really enjoyable book and a great way to get a look at the fantastic world we have to explore.

This is a really cute atlas for children with great illustrations and lots of fun facts about the different countries.

This is a fantastic addition to a world geography and cultural study unit, especially for your-mid elementary school age students. As a homeschooler, this could easily be one of the foundational books I could use in our "around the world" studies.

The way the book is organized makes it easy to find the adventures and see how close/far different events are from one another. There is also a nice collection from each region, so lots of different cultures and areas can be studied. There is enough information on each page to get the general idea of each place/event, but still leave it open for further study as students are interested. I also like how the pages are set up with bright pictures, and little notes so there isn't just a big wall of sometimes intimidating to students) texts.

This is a book I will definitely be picking up for our homeschool, recommending to our local homeschool group, and library. A lot of secular homeschool curricula focus their kindergarten year on around the world, so I will be sharing this with those creators and homeschool groups as well.
