"Teachers find
Blain’s technique a creative, high-interest strategy for introducing
children to world geography."

"I write for THSC magazine and my daughter, Laura, is the one who took on oath to do her geography this year without complaining if I would buy your book. I wanted to let you know that the year is almost over and your book is the ONLY one that Laura did all year without complaining and without missing a single lesson!"

"Cyndi Simmons,
editor-in-chief of “Homeschooling Parent” magazine, said she
and her staff have chosen to recommend Blain’s book to their
approximately 180,000 readers… ‘We’re very excited about this
product for homeschoolers.’”
“Seeing the
World” by Raechal Leone,

"This World
Geography book is like nothing you’ve ever seen. It is truly
remarkable and such a delight for any age to use. My children say,
“Let’s do World G.” They love the rhythmic sayings and clever
images that conform to the outline of each country. I can honestly
say that neither my children nor I would have mastered the mental
geographic recall that we have today, as well as the long-term
recall abilities I believe we will maintain. Thank you for creating
and sharing this wonderful resource. It is a blessing to have a
family treasure that we will pass down from generation to
generation."

"I would highly
recommend this book for every homeschooling family looking to
improve their child’s knowledge of world geography."
“Few Americans can
identify nations on the world map. As homeschoolers, we, too, often
neglect this area of study. Visualize World Geography offers a
solution and will help your child (and you) have success in learning
world geography…Making the grade: A+ value for your Homeschool
Dollar: 10.”

"I facilitate a
World Geography class for 25 homeschool students in Douglasville,
Georgia. The ages range from 10-14 and the reading levels and
learning styles of the individuals vary greatly. After reviewing
many resources, I found Visualize World Geography; I realized that I
could plan my class and school year around this one book! VWG
appeals to all kinds of learners and the students love it.
"Since so much information is given in the VWG curriculum and
learned so quickly, I am free to use most of the class time in
creative ways. For example: I went to the Habitat for Humanities
website and got the dimensions of the home they build in Ghana and
the typical family size. We spent a portion of the class with 9
people squeezed into an 11’ by 11’ house that we created.
"Most other textbooks gloss over the smaller, uninteresting African
countries by grouping them with others in the region. If we were
not using the Visualize World Geography as a guideline, I’m sure that we would not have
covered Africa so thoroughly. Visualize World Geography has helped make this World
Geography class a true Social Studies experience combining the
themes of physical geography, political geography and social
issues. Visualize World Geography is a gift and a joy to use. I am
learning as much as the students!"
