This was an interesting read.  Each page is a map that points out various interesting things that happen, reside, or belong in that country or region.  The authors have made sure to point out the weird and the wonderful, like the world's longest escalator that's inside a golden dragon, the Poo museum, and that there are 2 Guggenheim museums.  This is very well done and an interesting way of learning new things. It had this reader googling things to see the real deal and not just the little illustrations.
