Maps: From Anna to Zane: First Skills by Vivian French

A whimsical story about learning to use maps, perfect for very young children.

One day, Anna's friend Zane sends her an invitation: Come to tea tomorrow! This is the way to my home. Love, Zane. Inside the envelope, there's a MAP. Anna soon decides to make a map of her own, too ... and before long, Dad and even Whiskers the cat are in on the fun. From routes to symbols, point of view and scale, join Anna and her dad as they explore the wonderful world of maps – with words by Vivian French, storyteller extraordinaire, and delightful pictures by rising star Ya-Ling Huang.

This is a fabulous resource which introduces readers to different types of maps through the narrative of Anna and Zane’s friendship… The text is simple and easy to understand, and the narrative is peppered with clear and useful map facts which help readers understand a variety of maps and how to use them* The Early Years Educator *
