(4) 4-6 Don't Know Much series. Illustrated by Tom Bloom. Early chapters convey general information about geography, weather, natural disasters, and maps, followed by individual chapters devoted to each of the seven continents. The forced question-and-answer format ("How are deserts like desserts?" Because they can be either hot or cold), the jokey tone of the text, and the accompanying comic illustrations hamper the effectiveness of the overcrowded volume. A time line is included. Bib., glos., ind.
