In the Armpit of the World and Other Exciting Places

City, country, ice cream – the somewhat different children’s atlas

What sounds do animals make in other countries? Where do people eat with their fingers? Where do real princesses live, and where are children living as refugees? What kind of ice cream do children in Turkey love, and what kind of assignments do children in Japan get as punishment?

This large-format book of maps takes us on an unusual trip around the world. Each double-page spread introduces a new topic and broadens our view beyond our horizons. From funny, inquisitive questions to politically explosive information, the selection of topics is strictly oriented to children’s interests.

World knowledge to amaze and inspire further questions
A great mix of funny and serious topics

Genre: Non-Fiction, Children's Books / YA
