This is a great book to use when studying maps. It is on a lower elementary grade level, however it could be used for all grades! This is a great book to integrate social studies into language arts!

This is a great book that introduces geography to primary students. This book also introduces new vocabulary words through bright illustrations and vivid verbs. Students will also understand how to read maps and learn about cardinal directions. It is also a creative way to have students create their own maps.

Very basic introduction to maps and vocabulary. Great to use with young children.

Great for grade 1 investigation of maps and your community. I like that all the maps come together in the end. I would have liked to see the bird's map more from "bird's eye view," but still a great buy for the grade 1 classroom. K-4

Very simple, with each double-page spread showing a map from a particular animal's perspective. The eagle's map goes along a river from mountain to meadow to a tall tree. Rabbit's map goes from burrow to vegetable garden. I like this introduction to the idea that a map tells us as much about geography as it does about the map maker. We map what is important to us.

This is a good way to introduce maps to young readers. Each animal - the eagle, the rabbit, the crow, the horse, the sea gull - map their own favourite route. At the end the reader gets to see the whole picture.

The maps in the book are awesome! I loved seeing where the animals lived and exploring the maps!

Not my favorite book but I think the concept is very neat and creative!

A book recommended to us to accompany our history geography lesson and all the children loved it, especially my 5 yr old. With studying maps of the world lately, this coincides nicely with the lessons, giving a different sort of look at creating maps, from an animals point of view. From a crow to a seagull, it takes about their different flight paths and then creates a map for each one based on where they went. Wonderful to follow along with, even my 3 yr old twins got a kick out of tracing the path of the animals on their maps. Wonderful book!

It's exactly what it says it is, a first book of maps. I am sure it was more relevant when it was first published in 1991. Very, very basic.

This is a map book that views books in the perspective of different animals. For example, the rabbit has a map of a farm, a police horse has a map of the city, an eagle has a map of the wild, and ect. At the end it shows the moon's version of a map, and it puts all the maps together. I like this because it shows that maps can be of different things, not just a city or an atlas.

This book shows a day in the life of a crow; showing the reader everywhere the crow travels using illustrated picture maps that keep it simple enough for children to understand.
