K-3First Step Nonfiction: Map It Out! series.
In each small square book, a child narrator works on a mapping project, introducing simple concepts, including symbols, keys, and labels. Short, easy-to-read sentences provide captions for the clear photographs on each page. The formulaic books aren't very exciting overall, but new readers will come away with basic information; an activity reinforces the lesson. Appended "Fun Facts" vary in relevance from book to book. Glos., ind. Review covers these First Step Nonfiction: Map It Out! titles: Map My Continent, Map My Country, Map My Home, Map My Neighborhood, Map My Room, and Map My State.
