The maps, drawn with colored markers in a childlike style, follow the same steps in each volume: planning the map and then drawing it. <em>Map My Home</em> includes an unexplained compass rose and some more complicated map symbols but gives a plausible reason for mapping a home: in case of fire. <em>Map My Neighborhood</em> features a girl helping her visiting grandma by drawing a map to various local spots (this does include a very basic explanation of a compass rose). <em>Map My Room</em> explains creating a simple diagram of the locations where a neighbor can find the materials for feeding a hamster, with an understandable key showing the bed, the dresser, and the bookcase. In <em>Map My State</em>, a child creates a map of the state he is planning to visit, Texas. It's the least successful of the series, with difficult names (Guadalupe Peak) and the unexplained Route 66. A page at the back of each book offers somewhat random facts on a tangential topic like types of homes. <strong>These work best read together to reinforce the concepts and give children ideas for things they can map themselves.</strong> --<em>Booklist</em></p>-- "Journal" (8/1/2013 12:00:00 AM)<br><br><p>These easy-to-read titles are for youngsters just learning about maps. Color photographs intermingle with hand-drawn diagrams to help readers understand the vocabulary. Each book is organized so that children can follow along as the narrator plans and then draws a map for a specific reason. <em>My Room</em> is an excellent place to start as it explains how the symbols are used and how to create a key. Each volume includes directions on how to make a map and some fun facts. <strong>Good examples of beginning narrative nonfiction that includes well-explained hands-on activities.</strong> --<em>School Library Journal</em></p>-- "Journal" (11/1/2013 12:00:00 AM)<br>
