All About Maps (The Cat in the Hat's Learning Library) Review: Good & enjoyable intro to maps and the concept of "the world" - Fun way to introduce kids of kindergarten and up ages to the concept of maps... As with all Dr. Seuss books, there are clever rhymes, cute pictures, etc. - but also a nice way to help a child figure out how what he can see in front of him is actually just a tiny portion of the world... Review: Great book, more in-depth than others of the Seussian genre - This book was basically great, although some of the Dr. Seuss-style rhyming was just a tad confusing in the map-reading examples. I'd recommend adults read it over first, and if you are reading to--or with--kids who aren't familiar with the Seuss style, just skip over some of the names. Other kids may enjoy that part. Overall this is a great book on map reading. Parents may want to read it with their kids before going on a road trip, have them practice some map-reading skills at home (including a blueprint-style map of the rooms in their home), then try to find some very simple maps for the kids to read on the road, depending on their ages. This summer we organized some day camps to help young family members learn to read, which included numerous treasure hunts to practice reading skills. On the final day we read this book, then the big blowout treasure hunt led them to a hidden bag of puzzle pieces. When they put the puzzle together, it was a map of a couple rooms in our house, with red arrows pointing to the location of their next clue. The kids loved it (and they didn't mind the treasure chest full of little prizes after the final clue either)! I think it reinforced how much they could learn by reading books, and how they could put that knowledge to use. I haven't seen many kids' books that teach map reading, so this is a great addition to a child's library, especially if you help them follow up with some practice. We females tend to have brains that don't automatically process maps, so this may be especially helpful for young girls--if they're anything like me, anyway! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #12,763 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #7 in Children's Atlases (Books) #54 in Children's Earth Sciences Books (Books) #333 in Children's Beginner Readers | | Customer Reviews | 4.9 out of 5 stars 640 Reviews | ## Images ![There's a Map on My Lap!

It covers cardinal directions, maps and globes, how to find distances, and different types of maps. It is rhyming and has cute illustrations too. Allow extra time to read this book. I will use it over several days. ## Frequently Bought Together - There's a Map on My Lap!: All About Maps - Reception/Primary 1: Martha Maps It Out --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/3594680-theres-a-map-on-my-lap-all-about-maps-cat](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/3594680-theres-a-map-on-my-lap-all-about-maps-cat) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
