When our children turn on the home's television sets, they will often flip through the channels to see the news or some nature channel. After seeing the video clips of film taken in other parts of the world, they may begin to wonder why they never get to see such things at home. There is a good chance they will begin to understand that the World is a giant place, much greater than the vicinity they are used to seeing every day. A Countries Of The World (Quick Facts and Figures) picture book is a great way to get them started on understanding the landmarks contained within the Earth.
