The Atlas Obscura Explorer's Guide for the World's Most Adventurous Kid — By Dylan Thuras, Rosemary Mosco, Illustrated by Joy Ang

"Hey kids: Geography can be fun! At least when it involves an illustrated guide to 100 magical destinations, including the Waitomo Glowworm Caves of New Zealand and South Africa’s Boulders Penguin Colony.

Just don’t blame us if next year the little ones ask for a round-trip ticket to Ethiopia’s Lava Lakes."

— The Washington Post

“Curiosity is both a must and a given. One delectable sampler of wonders, there for the asking.”

— Kirkus

“This unique atlas impresses the interconnectedness of the world upon readers, stoking their sense of respect, wonder, and opportunity.”

The Atlas Obscura Explorer’s Guide for the World’s Most Adventurous Kid is a thrilling, imaginative expedition to 100 of the most surprising, mysterious, and weird-but-true places on Earth. It is no surprise that it is a New York Times bestseller.

 The Atlas Obscura Explorer’s Guide for the World’s Most Adventurous Kid lets one hopscotch from country to country in a chain of connecting attractions: Explore Mexico’s glittering cave of crystals, then visit the world’s largest cave in Vietnam.

Peer over a 355-foot waterfall in Zambia, then learn how Antarctica’s Blood Falls got their mysterious color. Or see mysterious mummies in Japan and France, then majestic ice caves in both Argentina and Austria.

As you climb mountains, zip-line over forests, and dive into oceans, this book is your passport to a world of hidden wonders, illuminated by gorgeous art.
