More About atlas
Long ago, people made maps by hand. They drew what they saw. Now, we have books called atlases. They have lots of maps in one place.
We use atlases in school to learn. They help us know where to go. We can find new places to visit.
In the future, maps may be on screens. We can zoom in and out. This will make it fun and easy to explore!
