Ultimate Mapping Guide for Kids gives youngsters all of the tools they need to understand maps, make their own cartographic creations, and even head out on navigating adventures. Getting lost will be a thing of the past.

This book is laid out in a logical order and is packed to the brim with expert instruction, learning projects (make your own contour map), top tips (e.g., always carry pencil and paper along with a GPS) and safety warnings. Even the page margins are put to use and filled with topical references for easy navigation and fascinating facts, such as "The Babylonians first mapped the stars over 2,500 years ago."

Ultimate Mapping Guide for Kids contains clear concise text that explains technical topics like longitude and latitude, satellite navigation, bathymetric maps, how to read grid maps, and how to make a scale map of your house and yard. Every term is defined and illustrations offer clarity.

Ultimate Mapping Guide for Kids is a practical purchase for youth organizations, geocaching groups and campers. Young readers will find it fascinating -- reluctant readers especially. They might even turn off the electronics, and get outside.

Industry Reviews

An inviting layout with short chunks of information, helpful tips, and plenty of visuals are just right for the topic. Interspersed activities show readers that mapping is never flat and dull. Even in the time of Google Maps, this real-world guide will still get plenty of mileage.--Angela Leeper"Booklist" (12/09/2016) I appreciated the clear, illustrated concepts of mapping and navigating, along with organized chapters that step by step outline the how-to do it with children. The Real-life Explorer and author Justin Miles focuses on simple explanations, building necessary skills, ensuring safety in the wilderness, GPS and geocaching. The book has plenty of colorful illustrations for the visual learner.--Diane Neylon"Youth Services Book Review" (12/22/2016)
