Great World Tour (Great Searches (EDC Paperback))

Summary: So Cool!
Review: I just discovered this series of books - and just ordered The Great History Search. It's a fun book that both my 5 and 9 year old girls enjoy - and me too! Each page is a starting point for a discussion on a country/area, with a brief explanation of the different things you search for in each place. Places covered include: USA; Amazon Rainforest; Iceland; Greece; Morocco; Trinidad; The Alps; The Middle East; East Africa; Siberia; China; India; Thailand; Japan and Australia. An added challenge is that you don't progress through the book from front to back. You have to solve another puzzle to find which place you should go to next! Kids wouldn't even realize they were learning they're having such fun!

Summary: many aspects to explore
Review: This book has been a big hit with my 5 y.o. son. He loves Waldo type search books and this book has similar searches, but also incorporates different cultures, new vocabulary, and tidbits of information. This book has been a great starting point for many discussions about other cultures and other countries. I'm looking forward to bringing the History Search book out of our attic soon too.
