Thank you so much to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group for my copy of Amazing Asia An Encyclopedia of an Epic Continent by Rashmi Sirdeshpande in exchange for an honest review. It publishes October 1, 2024.
Wow! As a homeschooling mom, this book in such an amazing resource! The illustrations are so beautiful, and it's chock full of great information, but not too much information to overwhelm a child. I highly recommend this one!

Do you know a child who might like to know more about the many countries that make up Asia? Would they like books with maps, photos and a nice layout? Are they interested in history, people, culture, food, wildlife, sights, the past and future of this continent? And, this book has even more.

If they (or you) can answer yes to some (or all) of the above, this book is an excellent resource. It is organized by geographic areas, for example, South Asia or West Asia, etc. and packed with information.

This book would make a fantastic addition to a home or school library.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group for this title. All opinions are my own.

The books seems to have a rather obvious political agenda. I really am a bit lost for words on this one.

This is very informative and aesthetically pleasing. It has a nice warm format and feels almost like it takes you on a journey. It is both kid and adult friendly and I feel like I learned a lot

Best read in print (I cannot wait), this is a child-friendly, appropriate and rich non-fiction book on Asia.
It is also a great resource for anyone who wants to learn more about the continent. The content is rich and engagingly presented.
The colour schemes are all warm, which I found a bit tiring. Though the art style is beautiful and I am sure this will be a more magical experience when we read the print book. I often read Quarto books knowing when I get the print copies, I will be mesmerised more. And this book is no exception. A good addition to school libraries.
