Atlas of Adventures is a huge - and rather yellow - book, and it's one I would have read endlessly as a child... In short, it simply seems like a fun book, and you ought to be able to spend ages looking at the pictures and reading the snippets of facts, over and over again." - Bookwitch Atlas of Adventures, our new favourite book’ -‘What I love about the book is that is doesn’t just show you a picture of a city or place, but it allows the reader to experience what it would be like to be there... It’s also filled with fun and engaging illustrations and interesting facts about every destination... Atlas of Adventures is the first book out from a new imprint called Wide Eyed Editions which we are really excited about.” ( Babyccino) We could argue about our preferred landmarks which are not depicted - Britain is represented by Stonehenge - which is not a bad idea in itself.

Reading maps doesn't have to be boring. In fact it could be an invitation to an adventure and if you choose the 'Atlas of Adventures' by Lucy Letherland, then you are sure to have some wonderful time travelling with your finger on the map through some of the most exciting places." - Mojo Mums This is a lovely resource for any primary school and a brilliant book for any child to pore over at home, learning about far-flung palaces, natural wonders and no doubt inspiring a love of travel and geography. The book also encourages an interest in design and architecture (looking at the Taj Mahal, described as the most beautiful building on earth), mythology and culture (Uluru and Easter Island), archaeology (Petra) and a variety of other areas. I was let down by just one misprint; Libya is spelt Lybia. I actually Googled this to see if it was an accepted alternate spelling but no. I'm telling the publisher and this may get corrected when the book is sold.

What this book sets out to do, and what it does very successfully, is to inspire your readers with a sense of the diversity of our planet and its wonders, both man-made and natural. It also provides a true sense of what travel is for as we see those young adventurers meeting local people and joining in with them in a wide range of different activities." - Books for Keeps Some of my favorite wonders discussed were the Marianna Trench, Mont St. Michel, Neuschwanstein and the Northern Lights. Each wonder was so extraordinary in their own right, and reading about them was fascinating. In many cases, I even learned things about wonders I thought I was familiar with. A beautiful book... The illustrations are fun, the colours are vibrant, some of the facts are random (but true)...Fascinating, fun - and an ideal Christmas present.’
