The Atlas makes me happy, because you can learn something even I ;-) The reason the purchase was actually the fact that our daughter (just 5 become) is very interested in the world, she was able to the dimension of the earth simply can not imagine all 'Mama, then we can bring our food but the children in Africa' ;-)
That's why I wanted to inform them an atlas for they thought about the size and width of our Earth.
There are certainly more detailed, this here is very much about countries and customs, its people and ways of life, landmarks etc. described, which indeed is not necessarily bad. The games I find, however, at least for the little kids, very difficult; However, for school age (3/4 class) the games are perfect.
What I, however, a star may depart is the price, all starter sets are set cheaper than it would cost in the price. Currently the pen is priced at 27.99 Amazon and Atlas 19.99, so I would save individually even two euros. And that's not the point of a starter pack!?!? Or have I got this wrong!?!?
