Me on the Map (Dragonfly Books)User Review: - Not as good as it could beThe idea for this book is great, and overall my girls (age 4 and 6) enjoy it. But the book is sloppy about distinguishing country versus continent. And I think the author and illustrator could have done a better job to help kids make the leap from the abstract, 2-D concept of maps to our 3-D world. User Review:  - maps and more!Excellent book! Not only it teaches about maps (from the map of your room to the map of the world) and geography but it is also excellent for teaching about * sequences and patterns (each page follows the same template, expanding from the room to the world) * spacial rotation and visualization (a map is a view from above) * abstract represntation (a map is a schematic view, a model, of the objects it represents) * permancence, presistence, and the transient nature of objects and their location (what should be on the map? - toys, books, socks?) User Review: - Me on the MapMy six year old daughter loved this book. The words were easy enough for her to read and the repetition reinforced her early reading skills. We used this book as an introduction to perspective, maps, and self-awareness. The pictures were fresh, clean, and uncluttered. We plan on getting the rest of the series. User Review: - Great Perspective for Younger ChildrenA very simplistic but impacting look at maps from a me/mine perspective beginning with her room, house, street... all the way to world and then back to room. The theme is "everyone has a special place in the world and this is how you'll find me"; using a map. The illustrations of the map are very vague in terms of detail, but gives a great relative perspective of the area it comprises. It will introduce the younger children and provide a more vivid explanation to the older ones. I would recommend ages K-4th grades. User Review: - Excellent ChoiceThis book is simple yet engaging. My 4th grade students gained a deeper understanding of their location in this vast universe. They were able to follow the book's example and create their own personal map book. I believe this book should be a part of every elementary classroom. |
