I would use this book for k-3rd grade. This is a great book to show how the universe works. It goes from Maria's local address all the way through the solar system. A great way to teach the differece in states, countries, and the world.

A beautifully illustrated book about our place in the world. This book greatly illustrated just how vast the universe, world, country, and everything is. Simple text plus beautiful pictures makes this a great addition to any library. (
