Why it works

Every map is hand-drawn and covered in small details: what people eat in each country, which animals live there, which buildings you should know. It is not read from start to finish; you look at it lying on the floor and come back to it for years. A six-year-old and an eleven-year-old can use it at the same time.

Our verdict

A gift from grandparents or godparents, or for a First Communion, that stays in the house for a long time. For a simple small birthday gift it is too pricey.
