Collins Children’s UK and Ireland Illustrated Wall Map
Four year olds do not read borders, they read pictures. That is the thinking behind this children’s United Kingdom and Ireland wall map from Collins, where clear, colourful mapping of countries and capital cities sits under a layer of illustration that gives a young reader something to point at first and name second.
Illustrated by Steve Evans, the artwork spreads across England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland with pictorial themes covering:
- National emblems and local customs
- Traditional foods
- Birds and animals
- Landmark buildings
- Sports
It works as an introduction to maps for ages 4 to 8, making it a natural fit for a bedroom wall, an early years classroom, or a home school reading corner. Map Shop finishes it to order: paper, laminated for wet-erase markers, mounted on foam core for pins, or framed in black or walnut molding.
