There's a map on my lap!
(Unknown)

SAMPLE TEXT : I'm the Cat in the Hat and I'm happy to say there's a map on my lap lets get on our way! We will travel the world. See the whole U.S.A. and still be back home by the end of the day. Maps are drawings that help to find out where you are and get where you're going no matter how far. When mapmakers make maps, they must first decide who will be using the map and what it needs to do. (Cartographer is just a more formal name for a mapmaker, but both their jobs are the same.)

The Cat in the Hat's Learning Library : There is a big gap between "concept" books written for preschoolers and nonfiction that requires fluent reading skills. The Cat in the Hat's Learning Library books introduce beginning readers to important basic concepts about the world we live in. They provide the critical foundations upon which complex facts and ideas can eventually be built. In addition, they show young readers that books can be entertaining and educational at the same time -- Learn to read. Read to learn.

Includes bibliographical references, glossary and index.

The Cat in the Hat teaches Dick and Sally about cartography and the uses of different kinds of maps.
