Like you, we read. Lots. Old books are like good friends. Seton, and Burgess, and
Holling….and Hillyer. Lots of V.M. Hillyer. I would gather the children and we would trek out into
the world with Hillyer through his book, “A Child's Geography of the World” and go exploring God's
world from the couch. We loved how Hillyer spoke directly to us, how we developed a relationship
with the author himself, how he romped through the world, teaching us along the way. But we always
had questions. Hillyer's geography was old-maybe too old? The world had changed. And we wanted to
know what the world was like now. And we wanted to see God's Hand in it all - for the Earth and
everything in it is His.
Thus this project, a "living" geography primer for grammar age students, (gr.1/2--gr.6/7). “A
Child's Geography: Exploring His Earth” is about getting to know what's under our feet, over our
heads and in the world around us-the atmosphere, the hydrosphere, the lithosphere-and then how to
get around this world-maps, latitude and longitude. Do you know how many gallons of water float in
a cloud over our head-how far it is to the center of the Earth-what causes magnificent auroras,
God's love lights-how God used the Flood to puzzle our planet into different shifting plates? Well,
hop on board to experience Adventures for the Inquisitive Child-and every excursion glorifies our
breathtaking Creator!
"A Child's Geography: Explore His Earth" is, in some ways, really like exploring and scouting out
various routes before a grand trip! While scouting and surveying the grand scheme of things, the
sciences of His Earth, our appetite is whetted for the real march out, the countries of this Earth.
The anticipation builds as we learn about the workings and the ways of His Earth. Then, having
gained our bearings in "Explore His Earth," future volumes of "A Child's Geography" will follow the
same traditional path of our chronological study of history, trekking through the countries of our
world today.

This is such a lovely way to teach
geography ~ just cuddle up with your little one and read. Having said that, I was surprised at the
depth of information in this book. We colored the layers of the atmosphere, labeled them with their
names and heights and there it was for us to see and absorb (we're both visual learners!
