Summary: Fun book
Review: Geography is a fun subject because it is so visual. This book has fun, brightly colored pictures that illustrate basic geography words. I found this little gem at a library sale years ago and have used it to help prepare my chldren for our homeschool association geography bees. They love this book too!

Summary: Must have book!
Review: I'd like to thank Jack Knowlton and Harriett Barton for writing and illustrating "Geography from A to Z."My daughter and I had a great time reading it together and she became the only first grader to know the basics of geography. A life long lesson. I recommend this book for all children and would definitely give it as a gift. "Geography from A to Z" has become part of my permanent library.

Summary: Fun book
Review: This book is really well done. Though it is targeted for children, this 40-plus year old found it very informative. After searching through the adult catalog at the local library for a book that would explain landforms and earth features and finding nothing, I found this book in the young people's collection. It was a Godsend. I found it so useful, that I am now purchasing it for my personal library. If you, like me, have never been clear in your own mind about the difference between a hill and a mountain; a mesa and a butte; a brook, creek, or stream; a river, lake or pond; a sea and an ocean; a canyon and a gorge, and on and on, then this book will painlessly de-mystify these terms for you and many more. Thanks to the authors and publishers of this fine book, I am less dumbfounded by my physical surroundings, and at least know now what I probably should have learned in grade school
