Synopsis

Elementary Geography was originally written by educator Charlotte Mason in the 1880s, yet this beloved book for elementary-aged students still garners attention today. Blue Sky Daisies brings you the same classic book, completely re-typeset in a pleasing and fresh format.Miss Mason’s conversational tone teaches children about their world, from its place in the solar system to their place in its lands. Elementary Geography also includes over a dozen poetry selections throughout the book, chosen by Miss Mason to complement the chapter topics. Discover the planets and Earth’s continents, the changing seasons, latitude and longitude, map-making, topographical features such as mountains and valleys, rivers and straits, and more. Elementary Geography is often paired with Blue Sky Daisies' edition of Home Geography for Primary Grades, by C. C. Long. (Search for ISBN 978-1944435004 to find our edition.)

Goodreads review by Rebecca on November 01, 2022

This is not a complete geography book, but one that should be used with several others, as is common with the Charlotte Mason Method. The illustrations should also be re-done in color and the reprint typed in new font to make the book quality more rich.......more
