Welcome to the amazing world of flags! Did you know that each flag is actually a picture that sends a message to everyone who sees it? In The Flag Book, Lonely Planet Kids introduces you to the flags of every country in the world, from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, and tells you what their design, colors, and images represent, along with lots of other incredible facts. What's the only country that doesn't have a rectangular flag? Why does Hawaii's state flag feature the UK's Union Jack in one corner? And what do the 13 stripes of the USA's Star Spangled Banner represent? You'll find out the answer to all these and much, much more. And then we'll show you the other fascinating ways flags are used throughout the world. Learn the International Code of Flag Symbols to communicate with ships at sea; read about flags used in sports, like Formula 1's checkered flag; marvel at flags commemorating world records and incredible human achievements; and peer with a microscope at the planet's smallest flag, which is no wider than a human hair. Chapters include: What are flags for? Speaking in flag Flag designs Coats of arms Pirate flags Ships and airplane flags The world's oldest flags Semaphore flags Flag record breakers Flag tales Sports flags International flags About Lonely Planet Kids: Lonely Planet Kids-an imprint of the world's leading travel authority Lonely Planet-published its first book in 2011.

Verfügbarkeit
Prima dass AMAZON das Buch liefern konnte, und das auch recht schnell. Das Buch ist in der deutschen Variante nicht mehr verfügbar, obwohl es erst vor relativ kurzer Zeit in deutsch aufgelegt worden ist. Schön, dass es das englischsprachige Original weiterhin gibt und ein 8jähriger Grundschüler damit sogar die wunderbare Gelegenheit hat in die englische Sprache reinzuwachsen. Er hat das deutsche Buch geliebt (das es nur noch in der Stadtbücherei gibt, als Ausleihe), aber das Original liebt er noch mehr :-)

"The Flag Book by Lonely Planet Kids: A Captivating Journey Through the World of Flags"
As a busy mom, it's always a challenge to find books that are both informative and entertaining for my kids. However, I recently stumbled upon Lonely Planet Kids' The Flag Book, and it's been a hit with my 9-12-year-old children. This hardcover book has a print length of 184 pages and is filled with detailed illustrations and captivating stories about the flags of the world. Moira Butterfield's writing style makes it easy for my kids to understand the history, symbolism, and meaning behind each flag. The colorful illustrations and photographs are engaging and have kept my kids interested throughout the book. They have learned so much about different countries and cultures, which has sparked their curiosity and inspired them to learn more. This book has been a great resource for me as a busy mom looking to keep my kids engaged and learning. The Flag Book is perfect for parents and teachers looking to educate children about the world in a fun and accessible way. It's an excellent addition to any young reader's library, and I highly recommend it. Overall, it's been a fantastic purchase for my family, and we're all looking forward to exploring more of Lonely Planet Kids' books in the future.
