Product Information

The attractive format and handy pocket size will make this an ideal gift or reference for anyone who is interested in flags. Discover the national flag of every independent country in the world with this colouring book and 300-piece jigsaw. Flags, as the distinguishing banners of nations, are the most immediate and recognisable of symbols but how many of us could spot the ensigns of the Bahamas or, say, the Falkland Islands? From the chequered Formula 1 flag and the rainbow banner to historical standards and country flags, this book is packed with amazing facts, stories and curiosities behind some of the world's most iconic banners.

That's why we create books for everyone that explore ideas and nurture curiosity about the world we live in. The Complete Flags of the World presents a detailed and compelling overview of the history behind the development of world flags. Detailed notes and annotation reveal the origins, design development, and significance of colours, symbols, crests, and coats of arms, as well as the reasons for any recent changes to the flags. Learn about how flag designs have evolved over centuries and decades and how to identify flags by their distinguishing features.

Featuring over 300 national, international, official and provincial flags from around the globe, detailed information reveals the historic and symbolic significance and development of every national flag. Other titles: Bone Collection: Animals (published by Scholastic), Puzzles, Conundrums and Enigmas (published by Parragon).

J learned her states and capitals early on because we had two games that she completely adored – Postcards from North America and The Scrambled States of America. Finding a fun way to learn facts like states and countries is important, because in the end, it is a lot of memorization. I absolutely hate when there was something written next to the flag and the very same thing was written in the next underneath. I love the fact that it added some regional flags (not the Italian ones, though) and some coat of arms.

The same could probably be said for coloring – if you spend 10 minutes carefully coloring a flag and reading about what the flag represents, you are more likely to remember details. Please keep in mind that because we deal mostly in used books, any extra components, such as CDs or access codes, are usually not included. Each national flag is fully described with text and annotations that describe its history, the development of its design, the significance of colors, symbols, and crests. More than 400 examples and spans the areas of geography, communications, politics, sport, history, and art in the process. This striking 300-piece jigsaw shows the national flags of every independent country in the world for children to piece together and discover.
