This is a good concept with excellent execution. My son loves this book and has captivated with the artwork. ( )

This is a really interesting and unique look at parallel geographical features. Each thick, glossy spread shows a body of water, like a system of lakes. Small people are shown in the background and on the water. Turn the page and the cut-out of the water turns into a land feature, like an archipelago.

After the five spreads, there's a comparison of each of the water and land forms with a definition and a thumbnail. Open this spread up and see a list of examples of specific bodies of water and land formations, then open it out into a giant outline map of the world with the different areas pinpointed on it.

The art looks like prints, but is actually created with digital layers. The small people shown enjoying the water and land are shown in a variety of races and hues, but none have visible disabilities.

Verdict: While not a particularly interesting book for storytime, this would be a unique addition to a unit on geography or the water cycle and fills a gap in this area. It would also make a good choice for an art or science-themed program, encouraging kids to create their own art that flips to create a new picture.

Through die-cut illustrations and mostly single vocabulary words on each spread, this defines what is a lake, island, bay, cape, strait, isthmus, system of lakes, archipelago, gulf and peninsula and their differences. Kids may be confused as to the difference between a cape and a peninsula, or a bay and a gulf, but backmatter provides further information as well as a list of examples around the world. A good visual introduction to this collection of geographical terms and a supplement to further learning. ( )
