It is one of several that I purchased after coming back from Tanzania, and I have recommended it to others. The author is straight-forward about his situation, so I wouldn't recommend it to children under, say, 12, but it is quite moving as an adult book, though he wrote it for young people.             National Geographic Our Fifty States4 reviews Mark H.

Allen National Geographic Children's Books, 2007 As informative as it is entertaining... George Washington, Spymaster: How the Americans Outspied the British and Won the Revolutionary War is a National Geographic book written by Thomas B. Allen.

Ceres, which is found between Mars and Jupiter, was once considered a planet, but in 1850 was reclassified as an asteroid. Growing up in the 1970s and ...             George vs. George: The American Revolution As Seen from Both Sides3 reviews Rosalyn Schanzer National Geographic Children's Books, 2007 Great book This is a great book for elementary and middle school wanting to learn about the revolution. The comic book format makes many of the more complex concepts easy to grasp, and the "Britain vs. America" paradigm teaches that history really depends on the point of view of the person teaching it. For example, the American Colonists are called "rebels" in the book. And so they were, but that ...             National Geographic Our World, Updated Edition: A Child's First Picture Atlas (Science Quest)6 reviews National Geographic Society National Geographic Children's Books, 2006 National Geographic Beginners World Atlas Updated This atlas is an outstanding means for introducing young children to one of the many important tools necessary for mastering geography.
