Summary: nuns like it too!
Review: I bought the large version of this atlas a few years ago, but after trying to carry it to my geography class for several days, I decided to buy the compact atlas. The maps are detailed and almost artistic. The facts section in the back makes finding quick statistics about countries simple. A few days ago, one of the sisters at our school asked me if I could buy her a copy, so I'm ordering one for her now. She called it "beautiful".

Summary: Lightweight
Review: With everything going on in the world these days, you can help your children understand world events as they happen by showing them were countries are in this very compact World Atlas. Even the small print was easy for me to read. While the Dorling Kindersley World Atlas is a much larger version, I prefer this one for looking up just a country or two. If you want a more detailed and almost encyclopedic treatment of the world, you could look up ISBN:078945620. This size is much lighter and is easy for children to use. It is useful for school projects and you can look up each countries flag (and statistics) or look up a country of interest in the easy-to-use Index. The inside front and back covers have a "key" to the Map Pages. So, if you are looking up countries in the Middle East, you would look on page 98. That is a great feature. Perfect to keep in the family TV room.
