The Great Global Puzzle Challenge with Google Earth

Integrating print with electronic media, each spread of this interactive time-jumping, globe-hopping book contains digitally rendered illustrations of a world location, along with corresponding Google Earth coordinates. In ancient Rome, gladiators fight in the Colosseum, while a prompt points readers to the site’s ruins online. Other sights include the Great Barrier Reef, the Amazon rainforest, and the city of New Delhi. In addition to browsing the locations online, the book offers numerous puzzles, games, and seek-and-find questions, though readers may become engrossed in online browsing or in the book’s challenges, rather than moving back and forth between the two. Ages 8–up. (Sept.)
