Atlas of the World recommendations for first book for pre-schooler

Can anyone recommend an atlas for an enquiring pre-schooler? We've been talking about the earthquake in Haiti and I was explaining how they happen in simple terms, I reached for our atlas to show him plates of the earth's crust etc, only to find it doesn't have them. So I want to buy him something that's good on physical geography, perhaps more so than social geography.
Thoughts gratefully received.
Thanks

the Dorling Kindersley Science encyclopaedia is in more simple terms for children too/ Just looking through my bookcase.
