 My name is Fereydoun Kian and I can show you a cool technique to find the map of France easily in any atlas. Check it out and if you like to see more countries, check out my book from your favorite library or bookstore. It's called Humpty Dumpty Sat on the Globe. Here's a sample of the book about France. An easy way to remember the map of France is to put together the map with the picture of Fifi.
Here she is:
Heres Fifi the beautiful French Fawn. She is wearing a magnificent velvet Fez, with red and white lining. ![]() Her necklace is made of snail shells from Tahiti.
The bright white flower on her nose is a Forget-Me-Not, designed by Fifis favorite designerher mom.

"Fifi, I shall forget you not--ever! I can find you anywhere on the world map!"
