Publisher Description:
This seven-book series is a user's guide to locating Earth's continents and the countries of the world. Kids will learn that more than 200 million years ago, all continents began as part of Pangaea, a supercontinent that broke up to form seven continents. They will acquire map-reading skills by learning the directions in which longitude and latitude lines point, where the equator is, and what the prime meridian is. The final chapter in each book features a scientist, related to the continent, with specialties that range from dinosaurs to the study of volcanoes. Africa is a continent of 53 countries and is home to people who make up more than 800 ethnic groups. More than 5,000 years ago, the country of Egypt, located in northern Africa, was one of the world's greatest civilizations. Africa is the land of the Sahara, the world's largest desert. It also hosts the Democratic Republic of Congo, which has one of the world's thickest rain forests. Many important natural resources, from exotic animals to precious minerals such as oils and diamonds, can be found in Africa.
