North or south,

East or west,

It's easy to find your way when you know how.

This lively book defines the points of the compass and relates them to everyday life for the young explorer.

Learning to tell directions is part of growing up, and Dr. Branley shows, in clear and simple language, that it can be fun. Boys and girls can trace their shadows, following his clear instructions, and learn to locate east and west.

Using a compass, reading a map, and best of all knowing which way you're going, are made challenging and exciting by Franklyn Branley's easy-to-read text and Robert Galster's witty illustrations.
