1) Hardcover Book Earth From Above for Young Readers by . Perhaps I am slightly biased, being not only an adult, but I read the original 365 days edition first. I am always on the lookout for children oriented books that help teach geography and anthropology, so naturally I jumped towards this one. While the book takes on the nice perspective of Yann Arthus-Bertrand´s grandson, who explains what his grandfather does and what aerial photography is, there are many flaws thereafter. The book highlights certain photographs and explains where they were taken and something about the place they occur. Unfortunetly, whoever chose which images to put into the book focused largely on Africa - Morrocco to be specific, and ignored some regions of the world entirely. I understand that Arthus-Bertrand cannot fly everywhere, but the original 365 days book covers more countries and continents. Secondly, the text has poor science for the grade the book is supposedly aimed at. While I understand this isn´t a textbook, it should still be educational. Lastly, I was slightly dissapointed in how the location of where these countries actually are was underplayed. Didn´t we just hear the horrid results of a worldwide geography examination, that clearly showed that we need to put more geography into education? I do want to add though, that the majority of the photographs were well chosen for the target audience, and I think that its important that the additional perspective of aerial photography is added to a child´s education. For a child, I recommend this book, but for a family, sharing 365 days would do just as well.¤ 2) Hardcover Book Earth From Above for Young Readers by . Now the best-selling book is available for young readers! At last children can experience the breathtaking aerial photographs of Yann Arthus-Bertrand in a charming book written just for them. These mysterious photos are eye-catching works of art-but there´s more there than meets the eye! Earth From Above for Young Readers tells the dynamic story of the diversity of the world´s cultures and climes. Young readers will be enthralled by glowing pictures of nomads and camels, carpet merchants and scarlet ibis, tiny villages in Morocco and geysers in Yellowstone, plus many more unforgettable images. Text by Robert Burleigh enriches the experience by revealing the fascinating story that each photograph tells.
