A good geography curriculum is more than isolated facts, concepts, and generalizations, which are not only difficult to remember but often useless. However, a great geography curriculum not only selects pertinent topics that focus on the earth as it is modified by human action but also highlights the Creator God that fashioned it all.

A Child's Geography: Explore His Earth does all that in an engaging manner that children will find appealing. Each chapter begins with a captivating adventure text, followed by a number of enjoyable activities. If you divide the chapter into two sessions, not only will the lesson not become tiresome but it will also provide you with a natural time to review key points. A Child's Geography: Explore His Earth promotes narration and note-taking in the form of "postcards" to encourage long-term memory. There are reading lists to go deeper if you so desire and loads of truly optional activities; choose only those that will bless and not burden you.

Each chapter has a segment on how your family can take the information and reach out to others. From knitting blankets for the poor to collecting change for clean water for African villages, you'll be inspired to consider how God would want you to meet the needs of those who share this planet with us. This 243-page, full-color textbook has a bonus CD-ROM that includes reproducibles in the form of copywork, postcard templates, quizzes, world and continent maps, and more. This very complete, very enjoyable program is marvelous for grades 1 - 6.

"A Child's Geography: Exploring His Earth” is about getting to know what's under our feet, over our heads and in the world around us (the atmosphere, the hydrosphere, the lithosphere) and then how to get around this world (maps, latitude and longitude).
