Why were the inhabitants of America called "Indians," and the route from Europe to China the "Silk" Road? Why are there no Australia and Americas on Ptolemy's map, and why are cannons thrown overboard from a sinking ship?
Curious Chevostik will find answers to these and many other questions during an unforgettable journey following in the footsteps of famous explorers! Together with Uncle Kuzya, they will meet the great travelers of the past and learn how, thanks to their courage and bravery, people gradually got to know our planet, mapping new countries and continents, seas and oceans. Chevostik is a charming character from a well-known audio project. Today, children know him from encyclopedias. Kids perceive information much better when a storybook character tells them about the world. That is exactly why girls and boys love such encyclopedias.
