Book Reviews of Me on the Map (Dragonfly Books)
Book Review: Explains Tricky Concepts
Summary: 5 Stars
My daughter is six years old, and it's tough to explain some of the more complex concepts like time and space. This series of books does a great job using colorful illustrations and text that's a lot easier to understand than anything I could come up with myself! Besides, I am a map and globe lover, so this book especially keeps our attention. I also recommend Sweeney's other books, including the one about Time.Book Review: Great beginning map placement for kids
Summary: 5 Stars
I homeschool and this is an excellent book for teaching elementary school kids their "place" on the map. It starts with a girl mapping her room and extends all the way to her place on the globe and back again. An excellent teaching tool for putting things in perspective! Not enough words to make this a bedtime book, but enough to cause interaction and learning.Book Review: Simple text inspires days of fun, family activities
Summary: 5 Stars
My four year son and I love this book. I used this book and the mapping activities it inspires to teach my son our address. We basically recreated this book with all of its maps to establish my child's very special place on the map (his bedroom, our home, our street, our town, our state, etc.)If you like this book, try also: Me and My Family Tree.
Book Review: Engaging and Effective!
Summary: 5 Stars
My four year old LOVES this book. Even better, because she reads at the 2nd grade level, she read the whole thing herself; she was able to read and teach herself about maps. We mapped her room, our neighborhood, our walking route to the park. She is so excited about maps.
We are looking forward to reading "My Place in Space".
Book Review: Me on the Map
Summary: 5 Stars
My 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.
