We have the same! I got them from Staples, but they also have maps at Barnes and Noble.

I second the National Geographic Kids World Atlas. Very detailed but not overwhelming for kids.

IIRC, they have a World Atlas but then also one for each continent. We have the World Atlas for 6yr old DD and she loves it.

This is a little more geared toward kids, but it is really well done.

Also, my DS loves the National Geographic Kids World Atlas.

My kid has two maps hanging on the wall in his room - one of the world and one of the country so he can always look if he wants. Sometimes he forgets they are there but I do see him looking at it and pointing stuff out to us sometimes.

yes, an Atlas. Amazon has many of them - any recommendations for a particularly good one?

I am looking for a great book that has maps of the 50 states and close-ups of some of the major cities. Not too geared towards children but something my elementary aged kids could look at and get a better sense of the country's geography.

I seem to remember having something like this as a kid -- it was a big thick book and I loved poring through it. Any recommendations?
