(4) 4-6 Illustrated by David Giraudon. Photographs by Yann Arthus-Bertrand. Selected from the adult book, these breathtaking aerial photos are of landscapes, villages, animals, and people from around the world. Each double-page spread includes a map showing the location of each image, a brief text (informative but at times distracting with its gee-whiz tone), and a superfluous watercolor of a child, usually in traditional dress of the featured country. Browsers will be rewarded.
