Marianne McKee's article in the Fall 2011 issue (#81) of The Portolan, "Expanding a Child's World: Map Books for Children and Young Readers", is a survey of youth-oriented books about maps and mapping. Many of the books in the article are still in print and available through Amazon or through public library systems. Now is a great time to consider holiday gifts of this type for children, grandchildren or other young people. McKee's full article, with book listing, is now online at <http://home.earthlink.net/~washmap/portolan81-McKee-article.pdf> http://home.earthlink.net/~washmap/portolan81-McKee-article.pdf . Marianne welcomes readers to provide her additional book suggestions at <mailto:[log in to unmask]> [log in to unmask] . Supplementary lists of more books will be added to the online article at regular intervals. The Portolan is the thrice-yearly journal of the Washington Map Society.
