About the Book



Did you know that flags are actually pictures that send a message to everyone who sees them? In The flag book you'll uncover the hidden meanings of flags--from country and state colors to flags used in sports, on ships and airplanes, and by the most dastardly of Caribbean pirates.



Book Synopsis



Welcome to the amazing world of flags! Did you know that each flag is actually a picture that sends a message to everyone who sees it?

In The Flag Book, Lonely Planet Kids introduces you to the flags of every country in the world, from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, and tells you what their design, colors, and images represent, along with lots of other incredible facts.

What's the only country that doesn't have a rectangular flag? Why does Hawaii's state flag feature the UK's Union Jack in one corner? And what do the 13 stripes of the USA's Star Spangled Banner represent? You'll find out the answer to all these and much, much more.

And then we'll show you the other fascinating ways flags are used throughout the world. Learn the International Code of Flag Symbols to communicate with ships at sea; read about flags used in sports, like Formula 1's checkered flag; marvel at flags commemorating world records and incredible human achievements; and peer with a microscope at the planet's smallest flag, which is no wider than a human hair.

Chapters include:

  • What are flags for?
  • Speaking in flag
  • Flag designs
  • Coats of arms
  • Pirate flags
  • Ships and airplane flags
  • The world's oldest flags
  • Semaphore flags
  • Flag record breakers
  • Flag tales
  • Sports flags
  • International flags

Learning about the world starts here

I love this book. It has nation flags and specialy flags (like the Olympic flag) and facts about what the designs mean. The 5-year-old is really fascinated and will just look at the pictures and ask questions when he doesn't want anyone to read to him. The 2-year-old is also fascinated b the flags. Really a wonderful hardcover book.
