Trade ReviewMaps is a delightfully illustrated book that aims to introduce early years concepts and essential skills in an engaging and informative way […] the vivid and joyous illustrations throughout would also inspire art and design activities: they are a celebration of the way children interpret and express their views of the world and respond to the need to record their own place in the communities they belong to. -- Barbara * Just Imagine *
