How-to
There are two map features within Kids: interactive maps and outline maps and flags. Read below to learn how to navigate and use each feature.
Interactive Maps integrate World Book articles into a searchable, interactive interface. World Book articles display as pins dropped on the map at their latitude and longitude coordinates.
Explore the map by using the zoom and pan controls in the upper left side of the map.
Or toggle between satellite and map view.
Zoom out to see continent and country pins and zoom in to see state/province/region and city pins as well as places of interest.
You can also search the map by entering keywords into the Interactive Maps search box. World Book articles geocoded to latitude and longitude coordinates will appear in search results.
Outline Maps and Flags provides printable worksheets of outline maps and flags for all the countries of the world, the U.S. states, the Australian states, and the Canadian provinces.Click or tap a continent, region, or country. Or, select World to view maps of the world.
Use the drop-down menus to view a list of countries, states, or provinces associated with a location. World Book offers maps with words, such as the titles of countries, states, and provinces, and also without words (blank maps of Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, South America, and the world).
