His knowledge of geography is out of this world. And he’s just six years old.
Winnipeg’s Madden Landicho can name all the countries in the world by just looking at their location on a globe or map, or even their shape on a piece of paper.
His mom, Kristee, said geography is not really her family’s forte, so it was quite surprising when Madden began showing interest at just three-and-a-half years old.
“He kind of just stumbled across a couple of YouTube videos about the United States, so we encouraged him to learn a little bit about Canada,” Kristee said.
“He kind of exploded and went onto South America, Africa and Asia.”
And now, he knows it all. Not only can he identify the countries by shape or outline, but he can name their flags.
Global News Morning put Madden to the test Wednesday.
