Welcome to the amazing world of flags! Did you know that each flag is actually a picture that sends a message to everyone who sees it? In The Flag Book, Lonely Planet Kids introduces you to the flags of every country in the world, from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, and tells you what their design, colors, and images represent, along with lots of other incredible facts. What's the only country that doesn't have a rectangular flag? Why does Hawaii's state flag feature the UK's Union Jack in one corner? And what do the 13 stripes of the USA's Star Spangled Banner represent? You'll find out the answer to all these and much, much more. And then we'll show you the other fascinating ways flags are used throughout the world. Learn the International Code of Flag Symbols to communicate with ships at sea; read about flags used in sports, like Formula 1's checkered flag; marvel at flags commemorating world records and incredible human achievements; and peer with a microscope at the planet's smallest flag, which is no wider than a human hair. Chapters include: What are flags for?

Nice supplement for school
Nice for a school supplement. Pages are bright and flags are separated by country. A page of information per flag.

Fantastic book on flags of the world!
Very fast delivery, was at my home within 24 hours. Arrived in box in perfect condition. It is a very nice book. Our 5 year old grandson has interest in countries and flags. This book opens with What are flags for? Types of flags, Flags of the past, Sporting flags, Unusual flags and International Organization, little blurbs of each one. It has all the country flags then breaks it down to states etc. with discription. This book just has a lot of information. I would recommend it to anyone who has interest. I know our Grandson will love getting it for Christmas! Shoot I’m ready to buy one for my husband and myself.

Great book with lots of flags, believe it or not.
My daughter and my husband sat down and started quizzing each other on flags when it got to our house. It was really informative and fun. My daughter is obsessed with geography right now for home school, so this is going to be a nice addition.

Gift for a flag fan
Purchased as a gift for an 8 year old who loves flags. His mom reports that he is really enjoying the book. Spine was slightly damaged on arrival but I didn’t have time to exchange it, so I took away one star for that.

Verfügbarkeit
Prima dass AMAZON das Buch liefern konnte, und das auch recht schnell. Das Buch ist in der deutschen Variante nicht mehr verfügbar, obwohl es erst vor relativ kurzer Zeit in deutsch aufgelegt worden ist. Schön, dass es das englischsprachige Original weiterhin gibt und ein 8jähriger Grundschüler damit sogar die wunderbare Gelegenheit hat in die englische Sprache reinzuwachsen. Er hat das deutsche Buch geliebt (das es nur noch in der Stadtbücherei gibt, als Ausleihe), aber das Original liebt er noch mehr :-)

It’s very good but the missipi flag is outdated so maybe change it and I’m pretty sure nothing else is wrong so yeah.
