Indescribable Atlas Adventures: An Explorer's Guide to Geography, Animals, and Cultures Through God's Amazing World by Louie Giglio

ABOUT THE BOOK

With more than 50 infographic maps, this illustrated world atlas for kids from bestselling author Louie Giglio will stretch your children's understanding of the world as they discover more about God, science, and His amazing world!

Indescribable Atlas Adventures offers a self-guided tour for your favorite explorer throughout the seven continents and over 50 countries. Easy-to-read maps, more than 1,500 facts, and a world map that helps kids identify each continent and country will help your child to think globally and discover new insights into God's incredible creation.

Each map includes:

  • an overview of each country's population, languages, and prominent features;

  • key facts about the country's capital cities; neighboring countries; and the national bird, tree, and dish;

  • notable people and their amazing achievements;

  • the country's terrain, climate, wildlife, contributions to space exploration, cultural hallmarks, and Christian faith traditions; and

  • biblical and inspirational pieces, like devotional thoughts, prayers, and Bible verses that highlight how amazing God and His world are.



Indescribable Atlas Adventures is for ages 6 to 10 and spotlights several fascinating ecosystems, like the Sahara, Amazon, and Great Barrier Reef. This book has a large trim size to help kids explore fun details on each page and is a perfect "my first atlas of the world" gift for curious kids.

    Sound like something you'd like for your children or grandchildren? 


MY THOUGHTS.....

This book is oversized in not only appearance but also in content! Indescribable Atlas Adventures is a beautiful hardback book that's filled with colorful maps, fun illustrations, intriguing facts, and a wealth of trivia about the countries and cultures that make up our world. It is a wonderful introduction to geography, but author Lou Giglio doesn't stop there. He reminds all of us that faith and science should never be considered two separate things because each country or region in our world is "remarkable and one-of-a-kind" because of God's handiwork. Seven continents, the oceans surrounding them, and all of the inhabitants are unique through God's creation!


    Teaching children geography is certainly a goal but this atlas  is a great way to answer questions about current news events. They see where Ukraine is located and learn about the people who are still under attack. 

    Did you know that there is NO national bird for Ukraine but they view nightingales as the symbol of new beginnings!

    I learned that Vladimir the Great was the first Christian ruler in the region!





Fun facts about our country!
Did you know that you can't drive to Juneau, Alaska? Alaska's state capital is accessible only by plane or boat!

Inspiration 
Whenever you need to remember how wide, long, high, and deep God's love for you is, picture how great the Grand Canyon is!





This book targets children ages 5-10 but I was also intrigued with some of the facts and trivia that are shared. Indescribable Atlas Adventures is a wonderful addition to home libraries and a valuable resource for parents who are homeschooling their children. It is also perfect for gift-giving!


I received a complimentary copy from the publisher via FrontGate Media. There was no obligation for a positive review.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
