One interesting book about our world. I honestly would love to travel soon after completing this book. It is so fun to do, and makes us think about animals in the world, countries we might misspelled, or even what to see in each country. Highly recommended to those who stays at home, those who plans their next world tour, or those who are simply curious about our wonderful world.

This interactive atlas is lots of fun for little ones and a great tool to help teach kids about geography, culture, animals, and more. It's also good for kids to flip through on their own and see what sparks their interest. The illustrations are so cute and colorful and it's fun for adults as well.
Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the advance copy.

'50 maps of the world" activity book is a fune and interactive learning experience. There are many puzzles and games in this book that also teaches about regions of our world. I throughly enjoyed the digital copy I recieved to review and highly recommend the physical copy for children. I personally would buy this book and think it would make a great road trip activity.

I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

50 Maps of the World Activity Book is a fun filled educational book for children to learn about different countries around the world they live in.
This book teaches about cultural differences as well as other differences such as flags, languages and foods.
There is a map for the children to colour code on the first pages and then many fun activities after this such as unscrambling words, matching, odd one out, patterns and much more!
A great book to help with geography and projects or just for fun when going abroad!

A wondrous, delightful activity book for young minds, packed with a variety of engaging (and secretly educational) activities!

This is exactly the type of book I would want to share with my kids while on vacation. I like that this is a world activity book and asks a child to use their imagine to make a flag, plan a menu etc. The activities are not overly simplistic and offer an answer key for answers that they may struggle with. The book includes stickers, trivia, word search, culture and food. Great book for summer activities, travel or a learning activity. This book is released in June just in time for vacation. Thank you NetGalley for this advanced copy in exchange for an honest interview.

With nineteen full-color activities from drawing to solving puzzles, the 50 Maps of the World Activity Book doesn’t disappoint!

There are a variety of puzzle types sure to include a favorite or two for your child recipient. I think it’s funny that I am still hopeless at the jumbled bird names. Only Ume saved me from complete embarrassment (emu, of course). There are puzzles for the right-brainers like me involving math too.

50 Maps of the World Activity Book is such a fun book to drill home the lessons in the 50 Maps of the World book sold separately. But it is also fine to be used by itself. The paperback also comes with 50 stickers. 5 stars!

Thanks to Wide Eyed Editions and NetGalley for a copy in exchange for my honest review.

This is a fun activity book that would be fun to take on a road trip or to entertain the kids during church.

I thought there would be more activities to do with maps but this book includes a variety of topics like animals, flags and important people.

This is such a fun and pretty book. Every page has either an activity or something to learn. I love that every activity is different and has different places featured. There’s mazes, drawing, matching, a math game, and my favorite: odd one out. That activity has pictures of famous places and buildings known to the country and you have to pick out the incorrect one. Any child that can read and likes activity books, will enjoy this one.

50 Maps of the World Activity Book
by Ben Handicott, Kalya Ryan

I read a digital arc of this book from NetGalley with my almost 8 year old.

This is a perfect activity book for a road trip to keep kids who can read well busy. My son was fascinated by all of the interesting information and loved puzzling out the different tasks. We especially enjoyed the true and false quiz.

This is a lovely activity book that has a modern, gorgeous layout. I absolutely loved the educational elements that are interwoven between activities and appealing illustrations. One of my favorite pages was the "create your own flag" page. This would be a great purchase for a young reader/student.

This is a fun activity book, a nice interactive addition to "50 Maps of the World: Explore the globe with 50 fact-filled maps!" The activities are mostly easy enough even for younger children with few relatively challenging ones. The graphics are wonderful as always. This would make a great book to reinforce information learned. Readers who never read the "50 Maps of the World: Explore the globe with 50 fact-filled maps!" could still fully utilize this activity book fully. Highly recommend.

A fun activity book companion to 50 Maps of the World. Beautiful illustrations accompany a variety of activities. This would be perfect for elementary school aged children.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for providing this ARC.

A fun and very interactive book for kids. I can see using this to reinforce learned world cultures and map skills.

I confess that I love puzzle books for kids. They do not require screens yet can keep children entertained. They are especially useful for times when kids are confined in some type of transportation.

This title has a variety of activities that require nothing more than colored pencils, a little imagination and some thinking. What could be better?

A few examples of the puzzles included here are a spot the difference, jumbled up bird names, odd one out, and find the hidden name. There is also room for coloring. Consider this one for a child you know.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this title.

OK... this activity book starts with a projection of Earth's countries which acts as a colour-by-numbers. Except at time of reviewing the digital files, the US and Alaska were different shades. Oh, and someone's nicked a bit of NW Turkmenistan – only you don't want to upset those guys. Still colouring in, we get the concept of the national flower, one of which we have to design for ourselves, then national dishes need to get cooked up in our minds.

Now I never know what I want from these books – puzzles to get you thinking, with their use-once nature, or things that we have to design. Having hated drawing as a child I know which I would have liked. At least this is a mixed bag and an equal balance of the cerebral (courtesy a maze, a wordsearch and some fiendish anagrams of national birds, etc) and the artistic. But I never really felt this was an essential way to pass the time. Cramming in 'national' this, that and the others, to give us the bits we couldn't get via the parent books, was OK, but again as a concept it seemed a little woolly. And the artwork at times is really questionable – making Greta Thunberg look more like Nicola Sturgeon on a good day puts thirty years on her. And I wasn't exactly convinced this title had that kind of staying power... Still, it does provide for some heads-down, tablet-free mental stimuli, and it generally keeps on the usefully educational side.
