Looking for 4th Grade Geography Book

I don't remember this book because I definitely was not born yet. But, I do come across a lot of vintage children's books and grammar school books, so I might can help.

Do you know if it was a school-issued textbook? If so, it's likely to have "Grade 4" or "Geography" on the cover.

Was it illustrated or text-only? Do you know about how long it was? It will be much easier to find if you know how the seller would categorize it (i.e. reading book or textbook).

I am also assuming that is was hardcover.
Was it part of a series?
Most books as you describe it are titled "Around the World..." or something of that nature. There are a lot of "Around the World in 1,000 Pictures" and "People of the World" books, if that helps any.

I love how you remember all the places that are in the book. I'm that way with the science (solar systems and the universe) books I read when I was a kid. That reminds me, I want to find some of them to read again.

Our school had a series of books - I think the fourth grade one had a reddish cover and the sixth or seventh grade book was blue. My memory of the 4th grade book was chapters on the Belgian Congo, the Andes in Peru, I think Baffin Island and I can't remember much more. If that sounds like the one you remember, pm me because I have a copy of it that I can dig out if it's the one you're after. This book was already old in 1954, but it was probably one of my favorite school books ever (our first introduction to social sciences.) Puma
