A brand new, and frankly very, very fascinating atlas of Ireland has hit the shelves. It has everything you need and many things you may not have even thought about to help children (and bigger folk) discover the land, people, culture and history of this amazing land ...I know what you’re thinking, because I was thinking it, too. Ah…another kids atlas of Ireland. But this one is different! We are taken on a real journey across Ireland, beginning with a map showing us all the counties positioned through the four provinces, easily seen and recognised. But then, this atlas breaks it down. Not simply county by county or province by province. Page after page shows us the entire country covering individual aspects and features…small two-page spreads or “chapters”, if you like, that highlight a huge variety of topics both past and present. Want to know about Irelands’ different wildlife habitats and the creatures that live there? There are spreads for that; grasslands and bogs, hills and mountains, glimpses of the shores and the rivers. More interested in history? This book has you covered, from prehistory, the ancient past, battles of old. Looking for something about the food of Ireland? Or its’ treasures? The Gaeltacht Regions? Lighthouses? Power? Airplanes and travel? Yep…it’s all there. There are even gorgeous sections highlighting myths, legends, ghosts and their hauntings, “fairies and scaries.” On the map(s) of Ireland, showing the locations they can be found and explained in brief, clear text that simply begs you to find out more. The illustrations are wonderful, inviting the reader to explore each page in depth, peaking curiosity and imagination. This is by no means your standard childrens’ atlas…it is much more, without the heavy, tedious, “teachy” stuff. Fascinating, intriguing, wondrous and accessible for young and old alike; it captures the true character of Ireland and lets it sing.
