This was our birthday present to Keira, the “Children’s Map of Europe” which you can get for $24.95 at such places like these. I do have one slight quibble, and that is the borderlines between countries are quite hard to find/follow.
However, the reason I do like it – the reason I bought it – is for the detail in the illustrations, all the minuscule pictures of animals, places of interest, foods, cultural spots, to be found in each region. Sometimes Keira asks about a particular place, and then we go look it up on the computer.
For example, the other day she asked after the caption of the abbey/island of Mont Saint-Michel* and so we went and looked it up together on my laptop, thanks to the wonders of wireless.
Its dimensions are 130 x 94cms, so it’s not a little thing. But worth it.
* Fabulous place I’d love to go to, incidentally! She has good taste.
