"Maps use symbols to help you find important places, such as the hospital, your school or your home. The symbols are explained on a legend or a key."
Max and Ollie are missing! Sally and her friends use a variety of maps and map skills in their search to bring them home. We have a bird's eye view of the frantic search for the beloved pets, and while we tag along we learn much about the lay of the land. Cartoon drawings will hold the interest of the intended audience and sidebars will add information about map features, types of maps and equipment used when following a map's directions. We move beyond the neighborhood to a map of the earth and finally a look at the solar system. In the end all is well, the searchers are safe and sound and Max and Ollie are home again. Then, readers are given a chance to use the information gleaned from their adventure when creating a map of their own. What fun!
