Curious readers will love meeting Felix the mouse and his bright red airplane, who not only acts as their tour guide but also loves to hide himself in every scene. Tots will spend endless time playing seek-and-find with the sneaky Felix.

Structured around continents, this is the perfect first animal atlas for children, taking readers on a trip around the world to visit Europe, Africa, Asia, North America, South America, and Australia while discovering tons of extraordinary animals, from elephants, flamingos, and cows to lesser-known species like moles, tarsiers, and axolotls.

Starting your globetrotting adventure in the frozen Arctic tundra of North America, you'll discover where the world's longest skating rink is located, where you can swim with pigs and what exactly 'dog mushing' is. You'll then travel on to South America to meet Amazonian Indian tribes, anacondas, toucans and more. Crossing the Atlantic Ocean to Europe, you'll explore Dracula's spooky castle, the world's biggest snow fort and the story behind Norway's trolls before peeping inside the treasure-filled tomb of Tutankhamun and meeting some of the animal kingdom's world record breakers in Africa. Next, you'll visit the mesmerising Taj Mahal, see where cuddly giant pandas hang out and scare yourself silly with the legend of the 'Kappa' river monster in Asia, then head down under to Oceania for vast coral reefs, Polynesian gods and famous explorers. You'll finish your intrepid journey with a trip to the planet's coldest continent, Antarctica, for tales of South Pole adventurers, wild weather and more.

An adventurous cat named Sam explores her neighborhood at night in this gorgeously illustrated book. Informational, beautiful, and deeply moving, Mapping Sam is both a book about how maps work and an engaging, character-driven story.

For fans of Brandon Wenzel's They All Saw a Cat and Sara Fanelli's My Map Book, and for anyone who wants to know what is where and how to get from here to there!

Maps can show us streets and subways and cities and countries. But they can also show us what we can't see, what we can only imagine, or how to build something. In Joyce Hesselberth's Mapping Sam, Sam the cat puts her family to bed, and then--when all is quiet--heads out to explore her neighborhood.

As Sam follows her customary path, wandering farther and farther away from home, readers encounter different kinds of maps illuminating different points of view and the various spots Sam visits. Finally, when Sam reaches her favorite place and confirms that all is well, she heads back home, climbs onto a cozy bed, and falls asleep.

An ideal read-aloud for classrooms and libraries, Mapping Sam features a page of background information, as well as various maps and map terms throughout. Perfect for fans of Lynne Rae Perkins's Frank and Lucky Get Schooled and Peter H. Reynolds's The Dot.
