Make your own globe and discover more about the people and places on it with this stylish kit, containing all the pieces for an easy-to-make spinning model plus a highly-illustrated atlas. The sturdy card globe features icons labelling everything from natural wonders to famous faces, topics which can then be explored in more detail in the atlas. As well as referring closely to the model globe, the atlas covers a variety of themes including the Earth's biomes, animals and World Heritage sites, providing a fascinating introduction to the world, its people and places. This beautifully-designed kit has everything any armchair adventurer needs to begin exploring their very own globe.
