Mapping Penny's World
Checking Availibility...Description
Lisa and her dog, Penny, learn the basics of mapmaking in this delightful sequel to Measuring Penny
Lisa's class is learning how to make maps. The teacher says they can make maps of anyplace, so Lisa starts with her bedroom. She includes all the things that people will need to read the map, such as a scale and a key to the symbols she has used.
Her dog, Penny, helps with the map. This gives Lisa an idea: Why not map Penny's world? Making maps is so much fun that Lisa and Penny decide to visit some of the exotic places that they've drawn-but they won't forget to take a map along!
Now available in paperback, this engaging sequel to the bestselling Measuring Penny will delight teachers and students alike.
About this Author
Loreen Leedy is the author/illustrator of many children's books, including It's Probably Penny and the best-selling Measuring Penny. Born in Wilmington, Delaware, she majored in art in college but wasn't sure what kind of artist she wanted to be. She started out making jewelry in the shape of pigs, cats, dragons, and other animals, and then one day she started making book characters out of her animals. She is skilled at making concepts fun and accessible to children, and often speaks at conferences and in schools throughout the United States. She lives with her husband in central Florida.
Reviews
"Young readers will enjoy both Leedy's cheerful pictures and the narrative about Lisa and her engaging dog as they explore a familiar world from an unfamiliar perspective. Great for inspiring children to map their own world, putting a ruler to everything in sight." - Booklist
