Author & Illustrators
This is a unique book deserving of a space on every bookshelf and is especially recommended for those who enjoy learning about exploring the world. It is a large, hardback book, with a beautifully illustrated cover and comes with an optional free app to download, which enhances the content by revealing the many explorers’ journeys in 3D. This is a very exciting element for the children and adults to use as it shows the journeys interactively.
The journeys covered stop at important points for your chosen explorer and interesting text pops up for the reader. There are many explorers, both well-known and less well-known from all around the world and across history. Each page is a double spread of beautifully illustrated maps with three explorers and more about their adventures. Timelines are included to support understanding and the glossary includes ambitious vocabulary.
This book was a gem of a surprise and we particularly enjoyed sharing the 3D element, to the delight and amazement of those who have seen it.
