A World of Wonders, Geographic Travels in Verse and Rhyme

A World of Wonders, Geographic Travels in Verse and Rhyme by J. Patrick Lewis, illustrated by Alison Joy

Could anyone somersault across the San Andreas Fault?

Why were the Hawaiian islands named after a Sandwich?

Where can you watch lights dance in "colored thunderwear"?

Of longitude and latitude — which as more "flatitude"?

Thousands of spaces are places to be —
Discover the World of GE-OG-RA-PHY.
Travel by boat or by car or by plane
To visit East Africa, Singapore, Spain.
Go by yourself or invite a good friend,
To travel by poem is what we recommend.
