Full description

This map folds out from inside the back cover of Wakefield’s A Family Tour. In this case, the map does not provide a colored path of the family’s journey, but readers need to locate destinations as they read. Following along with the story using a map is a practice typically recommended in the prefaces of fictionalized geography books for children.
