Me on the Map
Written by Joan Sweeney
Illustrated by Annette Cable
Dragonfly Books, 1996

Me on the Map introduces map reading and scale to young readers.

You can locate a special place, like your room, on a map of your house. Then you can find your house on a map of your street, your street on a map of your town, and so forth until you have a map of the earth.

Me on the Map takes readers through this small-scale-to-large-scale progression, and then takes them back in the opposite direction, helping them find their room starting from a map of the earth.

This book could be a great classroom activity for younger elementary school students.
