Mary;
The My World Globe has been a best seller for several years - the kids seem
to really like it. More appropriate for younger kids. The Workman
Publishing book has also been a best seller.
The two best sellers for us and are books that kids seem to really like and
use over and over are the Klutz books "Kids Travel" and "Earthsearch - A
Geography Museum"
Cheers,
Russell Guy
