Isabel: Bought this for a young friend with whom I was linked in a reading-tutor program. He seemed not to be interested much in reading, but we formed a bond. He's now 14, and I'm keeping up with him by providing interesting books that I hope will open him up to the benefits of reading -- instead of watching meaningless TV and playing meaningless games on his phone! Reading is so much better for the brain!

William H.: My daughter loves science and travel and learning. This book was perfect for her 11th birthday. She and I read it together, and I enjoy it as much as she does. It is a substantial hard bound book, packed with colorful illustrations, pictures, photos, and well-written text and explanations. This Atlas is as well done as I expected coming from Obscura. I’m looking into additional Obscura books for her. A great bargain for a great text. You and your children will appreciate Obscura books and other products.

Kev+Kat: Definitely not worth the $ but it's an interesting book to read nevertheless. Solid 3 stars. The book was very bulky to read and the stories were cluttered. Missing something..

Meghan Holmes: The book has beautiful illustrations, but not enough content. It is definitely too junior for my ten year old, and possibly too junior for my 7 year old. Definitely not the best book of this type out there. If I could return it for free, I would. Since I can't, it will go in the gift box for the next birthday party my kids are invited to.

Tanya: This was purchased as a gift and it was very well recieved. The images in this book are quite beautiful. I bought as a Christmas gift for my nephew but it was passed around by the whole family. Beautiful images and interesting places

Cedy Lackner: This book is really a nice book. It is a very good one for any age. As an adult, I spent a few hours with it and was totally enthralled. It covers different countries as well as different states of the US. The facts are quite interesting and the illustrations are well done. One aspect I really liked and appreciated was that the places featured on the different pages were highlighted in color on a black and white globe. That was a really nice feature. Fun book with strong educational value!
There was some mix-up about the embroidered patch that was featured in the pre-order offer. The badge arrived about a week later in a separate envelope. The badge is a high quality one and I am sure my grandson will love it as he wears it on a sweatshirt. Many thanks for offering the badge in the pre-order offer.

I ordered this book on August 15, 2018 for a nine year old grandson. The book looks like a book he will really like. However, when I purchased it, there was to be a badge that was to be included in the purchase. The book arrived today, 9/18, but there was no badge in the package nor in the book and no message about the badge. I would like to receive the badge that...
