Readers learn that there are unusual flags out there, including square flags of two countries, a flag with more than four sides, etc. Flags in the book are grouped by continent and then by theme, so there is a clear order for how to understand the flags as they are represented throughout the book. The glossary at the end as well as the index of countries rounds out the book, making it very easy to find whatever information necessary to learn about different countries and their flags."
