Phaidon Our World: A First Book of Geography Book

Selected by Parents Magazine as a Best Book of the Year, Our World is a colorful, creative celebration of our planet. This read-aloud introduction to geography is also a beautifully designed object which opens and folds back into a sturdy circular globe fastened by a hidden magnetic closure.

Our World teaches young children to identify and experience Earth's diverse geography through rhyming verse and lush illustrations of its features – from rivers, lakes, and oceans deep to valleys, hills, and mountains steep. Secondary text offers more detailed, curriculum-focused facts and encourages children to consider their own living environments, presenting a personal perspective set against a global backdrop.

Inspiring, informative, and one-of-a-kind, this artful homage to Earth is both an invitation to explore the natural world and an object to be treasured for years to come.
