A solid addition to the Geography Packs
This Pack goes very well with others - the Rivers Pack, Oceans and Rainforests Pack, making a good set for teaching geography! The pictures and displays are first class, lots of interesting information and activities, and another lovely video. My little son, aged eight, watched it four times.
