Riassunto

With more than 115 years exploring the globe with its writers, photographers, and research expeditions, National Geographic is uniquely positioned to introduce young readers to everything they need to know about the countries of the world.

This book reviews its vast national history, from the Tsars to the Soviet Union to today's Russian Federation. It explores its richly diverse topography – coniferous forests, semideserts, steppes, tundra – with an array of climates to match. It explores its population and fascinating culture, from the Bolshoi Ballet to Tolstoy and Pushkin. A special website directory offers report writers authenticated sources for flags, national anthems, time differences, current weather and climate, and currency conversion.

“My kids love these books. Super fun and interesting.” – Consumer

L'autore:

The National Geographic Kid is curious about the world around them, empowered in the face of challenges and responsible for others and the natural world. Combining these principles with the international educational heritage of Collins, this partnership is a natural fit for books that are funny, weird, exploratory, educational and loved by children.
