[ 책 소개 ]

베스트셀러인 "Me on the Map"의 저자인 조안 스위니가 만든 "Me..." 시리즈의 New Edition입니다. 구판에서는 Me시리즈 모든 책의 그림을 Annette Cable이 그렸습니다만, 신판에서는 책마다 Illustrator가 달라서 책마다 다른 느낌으로 즐길 수 있습니다.

조그만 지도 안에는 우리 마을이 담길 수도 있고, 우리 나라 전체가 담길 수도 있으며, 세계 전체가 포함될 수도 있습니다. 지도를 들여다 보면 현재의 자기 위치를 알 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 좋아하는 장소나 관심있는 곳의 위치도 확인할 수 있습니다. 지도는 다양한 종류가 있으며, 지도 안에는 단순한 위치 정보 외에도 미지의 세계에 대한 상상의 날개를 펼칠 수 있도록 수많은 정보들이 함께 수록되어 있습니다.

이 책은 어린 아이들이 지도를 보는 방법과 지도를 통해서 어떤 정보와 지식을 얻을 수 있는지를 간결한 문장과 예쁜 그림을 통해 쉽고 재미있게 설명해 줍니다.

Book Description
Maps can show you where you are anywhere in the world! A beloved bestseller that helps children discover their place on the planet, now refreshed with new art from Qin Leng.
Where are you? Where is your room? Where is your home? Where is your town?
This playful introduction to maps shows children how easy it is to find where they live and how they fit in to the larger world. Filled with fun and adorable new illustrations by Qin Leng, this repackage of Me on the Map will show readers how easy it is to find the places they know and love with help from a map.


Publishers Weekly
A girl explains maps, beginning with her bedroom and expanding to a map of the world. "Sweeney encourages the cartographer in every child," said PW.


School Library Journal
A nameless child introduces the world of cartography. Using the premise that simple drawings can be maps, the book begins with crayon drawings of the floor plans of the girl's room and house. The concept becomes progressively more complex, as her horizons expand from home to street, to town, to state, to country, and finally to the world. Colorful illustrations show a composite of the entire area that is being charted on the facing page. On each successive page, the child points out her street, hometown, state, and country. The process then reverses as she finds the U.S. on a world map and works back down the scale to her own room again. The text concludes with the statement that "...everybody has their own special place on the map." Not an essential purchase, but one that could be useful for teaching basic skills at the primary level.


Booklist
A small girl introduces the concept of maps, beginning in her own room, then reaching further out to her house, street, town, country, and the globe, and back again, step by step, to herself at home. It's a game kids love to play. The collagelike illustrations show each place and then the child pointing to a diagram of that scene. We see her in her room, then she makes a crayon picture, a map of that room. Then we see her making a map of her house and her street. For her town, country, and globe, there's a scenic painting, and then we see her pointing to a map and where she is on it. Like Cohen's Where's the Fly? , the pictures play with scale and perspective and help children expand their personal address.
