Authored by Theresa Blain, this book makes learning
geography easy by teaching through pictography.
The book also features mnemonic devices, e.g., illustrations, jingles,
and entertaining storylines which create a web of
associations to help students identify 100 nations of
the world. One story features Stan the Duck, his Afghan and his mother's advice to "pack it Stan", hence the Afghan on Stan, which is overlaid on the map of Afghanistan and Pakistan. Also included in the book are flags, maps, and
geographic profiles for all the countries along with
activities designed to reinforce the students'
progress.
