A fascinating way to introduce your kids to every country on Earth. This beautifully designed book also serves as the perfect gift, coffee table book, and conversation starter!

In the process of developing Beautiful Feet Books’ new World Geography and Ecology (7-9) curriculum, writer Rebecca Manor had the idea of a book that would introduce students to all 196 fascinating countries of the world. Short entries for each country would include capital cities, locator maps, demographics, fun facts, national parks, and, of course, gorgeous photos to stoke students’ curiosity. And thus was born the Book of Nations!

This book is intended to introduce readers to the amazing beauty and diversity of the world’s countries. An information-packed page or two for each country introduces students to the fascinating history and culture of every country in the world. Here you’ll glimpse towering mountains, sparkling beaches, jaw-dropping canyons, remarkable animal species, and much more. You’ll discover that, while Mount Everest is the highest peak above sea level, the point on Earth closest to outer space is actually located somewhere different, and the tallest mountain from base to summit is even somewhere else. You’ll learn about underground caverns so large they have their own forests, beaches, and even ecosystems. You’ll learn about ancient cities that have been continuously inhabited for millennia.

We hope this book stirs up your curiosity about the wonders of creation and the people with whom we share it!

We have used BFB's Around the World with Picture Books, and this would be a great reference book to have on hand to supplement! Great photos and fun facts included.

This gorgeous matte hardcover is organized beautifully, so the sheer amount of information does not feel overwhelming. Organized first by continent, and then alphabetically, there is a smooth consistency to the presentation of the information. First, we find quick facts on every country about population, size, and demographics, even predominate biomes. Following is a list of fascinating fun facts, and closing with a list of that country's national parks. Flags are pictured. Each country also has their national flower, animal, bird, or fruit/food beautifully painted or photographed and annotated.Each country is featured on one, occasionally two pages, for a perfect springboard. For deeper dives, the book's introduction gives recommendations for additional encyclopedic research and YouTube channels.Attractive enough as a display, this is no simple "coffee table" decor, but a useful resource to broaden our knowledge of the world we live in. ⭐ I would highly recommend this book!Thank you to @beautifulfeetbooks for their generosity in providing a copy for my honest review. All comments are my own!

I would buy this book in a heartbeat if the font was not white. It's incredibly difficult to read. A guide I purchased from BFB has this and it's terrible.
