Category Description for National Geographic Pocket Guides to North America
Easy to use, pocket guides are jam packed with information and quality illustrations. This will quickly become your family's favorite go-to resource for information. Today, it may seem simpler to "google" the information. Oftentimes, the online resource is overly simplified and easy to skim without really learning the information. Teaching our children to use print resources is valuable to not only retain information but also to give them tools to teach themselves. Each book provides detailed information for novice to advanced learners, and key facts summarized for each topic. Measuring 4 1/2" x 7 1/2", these books slip easily into your backpack or purse for an on-the-go reference. 178 pgs, pb ~ Deanne
