This is my first month as a Mom of Masterbooks reviewer. I was so thrilled to be picked but even more thrilled when I received our first selection to review. Children’s Atlas of God’s World is an amazing book. The book is broken down by continents so it is easy to find the countries you are looking for! Jammed packed with tons of facts this is a great resource for homework or homeschooling!
Children’s Atlas of God’s World
A one-of-a-kind atlas that glorifies God, explores His creation, and honors His followers around the world!
- Discover amazing wonders of God’s creation, including longest rivers, tallest mountains, and more.
- Examine interesting factual details about Christian explorers, missionaries, and history makers.
- learn about geographic features and how these were formed by the Flood, plate tectonics, and volcanic activity – plus other details of God’s amazing design.
The atlases that line the shelves of libraries and bookstores are filled with both evolutionary thought and secular worldviews. This atlas is packed with unique insights into Christian history makers and amazing landmarks. One will explore the design of ecosystems and biomes, great civilizations, and discoveries found around the world. The full-color, visually engaging book provides a dual purpose as an elementary curriculum and a valued reference tool.
Outline maps and facts regarding the seven continents are provided, as well as detailed maps and data of the featured countries. The comprehensive information provided for each focus country will bring to light their culture and traditions, holidays, exploration, legal system, and economic industries, as well as missionary accounts and other material to help children connect to people from regions around the globe.
My Thoughts:
This is one of those homeschooling must have books. It is big, bright and beautiful. My 11 year old was very intrigued by all the information. It was really neat to see which landmarks we had learned about and remember what country they were in (so proud of how much information actually sticks in his brain!) I love all the facts on the page. They are bite sized but straight to the point. This book is written with a Christian perspective which fits nicely with my teaching philosophy – learning about God’s world.
History & Geography
I would classify Children’s Atlas of God’s World as a history/geography book there is a lot of science mixed in. For example on Brazil’s page there is a description of the rainforest layers and information about anacondas! The back of the book even covers the biomes of the world! This is great for studying world history – especially to see what monuments currently look like or how culture has changed over the years. There are 4 pages devoted to The United States so you could use that section for American History. If your kids like to learn facts for fun and have a driving interest in God’s world this is an excellent resource to have on your bookshelf!
