There's a Map on My Lap!: All About Maps (Cat in the Hat's Learning Library) Review
I love, love Dr. Seuss books. My 3 children and I have read them all. Even the ones you have never heard of. I appreciate the effort, but there is much lacking for it to be called a genuine Dr. Seuss book. The boys like it, but it is not one they pull off the shelf to read. They would rather "The Cat in the Hat", or "Green Eggs and Ham" (or any of the others).
It has to be my idea to read this one.
I do realize that it is a non-fiction book, but the rhythm & some of the rhymes just don't work. I think they could have done a little more to make it "sing-song". That's what makes a Seuss book!

There's a Map on My Lap!: All About Maps (Cat in the Hat's Learning Library) Overview
The Cat in the Hat introduces beginning readers to maps–the different kinds (city, state, world, topographic, temperature, terrain, etc.); their formats (flat, globe, atlas, puzzle); the tools we use to read them (symbols, scales, grids, compasses); and funny facts about the places they show us (“Michigan looks like a scarf and a mitten! Louisiana looks like a chair you can sit in!”).

Great Book! - D. Newman -
I love this book for my 6 year old! He really enjoys reading it and it teaches him the basics of different map readings. I love the series of these books from Tish Rabe, since they are educational unlike other Dr. Seuss books.
Very informative, but a little wordy for the target age - M. Brown -
I bought this book for the Social Studies department where I work. The first grade teacher has used it and said she loved it. It has to be broken down and analyzed in sections because to do the whole book at once would be an informational overload for the age group that Dr. Seuss targets. I used the book for my 6th graders and it was just funny and kiddish enough to be really engaging. I'm very glad I purchased it.
Great for young children - Leslie E. Merry -
This is a fun book for introducing young children to maps. I will use it in my early childhood classroom but I wish I'd had it when my own chldren were young. They would have loved it!
