Description
The simple text and photographs in this book describe and illustrate how to use a compass to find one's way on land, at sea, or in the air.
Quick Summary
With bright photos that turn a simple compass into a secret navigation tool, this book makes kids feel like real explorers right away. The step-by-step pictures let them practice finding north, following bearings, and solving mini treasure-hunts without any complicated words. If your kid loves the clear, hands-on learning of The Little Engineer's Guide or enjoys the visual how-to style of National Geographic Kids you'll want to add this to their shelf. It's ideal for early readers in kindergarten through third grade (ages 5-9) who are ready to start using a compass on their own.
