A wonderfully conceived and executed picture book celebrating the excitement and the possibilities that lie ahead of young lives." - ACHUKA Met zoonlief (7jr - groep 3) dit boek bestudeerd. Leerzaam om eerst vanuit de ruimte een kaart (map) te bekijken en daarna per bladzijde steeds verder in te zoomen naar land, straat, huis, etc. totdat we uiteindelijk in het hoofd van Katy (Nederlandse versie) terecht kwamen. Herkenbare zaken zijn op de kaarten te vinden, maar ook nieuwe dingen tegengekomen. Waarbij zoonlief zich elke keer afvroeg of wij dat ook in de buurt/huis hebben. Martha's maps will take you on an enchanting journey through her world, starting from outer space and zooming in, map by map, to our planet, Martha's neighbourhood, and beyond. Martha’s maps will take you on an enchanting journey through her world, starting from outer space and zooming in, map by map, to our planet, Martha’s neighbourhood, and beyond, to her dreams of a future where ANYTHING is possible.I mean this in the best possible way and with absolutely no disrespect to Leigh Hodgkinson. It's actually really challenging for a grown-up to convincingly make art that looks like it was created by a child. Leigh has mastered this and it's a huge part of this story's appeal. It will encourage readers to get creative and make their own maps - and their own books too.

Martha Maps It Out’ would make a fantastic book to share with children over the summer holidays when they might be looking at maps of places they are going to visit whether to be a theme park, different country or their own locality. They might enjoy creating their own ‘worlds’ with Lego or their toys and then recording this on a map. Parents might feel inspired to create a treasure hunt, offering their youngsters a map to help them locate a treat! If only my son were little again..! Journey through the day to bedtime in this lovely, simple book, which reminds little ones that their adults love to spend time with them, and that they are always safe and loved. With useful sleep guidance at the end, too. All in all, I am so happy I got the chance to read this book and add it to my collection! I would recommend this to all~
