It's the US atlas every young explorer needs. And now, the third edition of the award-winning "National Geographic United States Atlas" for young explorers allows kids to explore both on its beautiful pages and interactively through a specially designed website.

Locator maps and colour-coding throughout make it easy for kids to keep track of where they are and to quickly navigate from region to region and from state to state. The combination of large, detailed, yet easy-to-read maps, stunning, full-colour photo essays, information-packed thematic spreads, and Web site links sets this atlas apart from any other US atlas available to this age group.
