Reader ReviewsMost of the previous well-publicized books, "1001 Questions" and the "Official Guide" are only first steps. They will help win your school bee. However, this is the guide you need to win the State Bee or the National Bee. It has nice sections on each and every continent. It has hundreds of questions on all of them. It has a good section on U.S. geography. Last, but not least, it has a physical geography section and current affairs section. Current affairs questions are from 2007. I think this is a nice question and answer guide. And, mind you, questions are challenging. And, it comes from someone who has seen the National Bee.
