looking down

As an elementary school librarian, i have found this book to be a great hit with students of all ages. It gives a bird's eye view of the earth from first space and eventually down to a magnifing glass in a child's hand. On the way, it introduces kids to VITAL map skills, earth features and how they might be portreyed on a map. This book is a must for all elementary school teachers interested in teaching map skills

great kids book

My daughter loves this book. I like the pictures, there are however no words, it just show the earth at different sizes. it a good book though.

If you were an astronaut traveling far out in space and you looked at the earth, what would you see? A small ball in the huge black universe. That's where these pictures begin. Then they move closer and closer to the earth, each view revealing new details. Until finally . . . See for yourself. In this wordless picture book with stunning cut-paper illustrations, Steve Jenkins masterfully depicts the many levels of the universe, from the farthest reaches of space to the most familiar corner of your backyard.
