Geography



Geography is the science of studying the land, the people, and the landscape of the Earth.  Many people don't know or remember too much about other countries, let alone rivers or mountains.  I read a helpful tip about Mr. Bill Gates regarding geography in a children's book.  It said that he had a map of the world that he looked at every day to help him remember the names of countries. 

I've found that if you've read or heard a story about a place or its people or saw a picture, you will remember more about it.  I hope to tell little stories about people and places around the world to help you remember more about geography.  As I've said in my books, there is always something to learn.  If you are able to get a map next to your computer or some other handy place, you can refer to it often and it will help you remember people, places and geography, as well.
