About this item:

Explore the beauty and majesty of planet Earth in this compendium, with more than 100 incredible stories and images.

The world is so much more complex than young minds can fathom, from molten-hot rock and smouldering volcanoes to icy glaciers and bubbling springs. This book about the Earth for kids aged 7+ unlocks all the mysteries of our living, breathing planet.

An Anthology of Our Extraordinary Earth looks at our constantly changing planet, with striking images and scientific ideas that are easy for children to understand. Starting at the centre of the Earth, the book examines each layer in forensic detail: from Earth's metallic core, drilling through Earth's tough crust until emerging out onto the planet's surface, with its lush green rainforests, sparkling oceans, and snow-capped mountains, before sailing up into Earth's airy atmosphere.

This detailed planet earth book for kids offers:

- More than 100 stories about planet Earth, from snowflakes to cave pearls, each one accompanied by a photograph and delightful illustration.
- Creative photography that presents planet Earth in surprising and remarkable ways, capturing nature in action or showing intriguing features up close.
- Beautiful gold foil, gilded edges, and a ribbon for keeping your place.
- In-depth feature pages that examine each layer of Earth.

This striking book won't fail to excite budding geologists, geographers, environmentalists, and all-round planet Earth enthusiasts everywhere.

With foil on the cover, gilded edges, and a ribbon for keeping your place, this earth book makes an attractive gift for any child who is fascinated by our planet. With engaging information and absorbing images, this anthology is great for children to explore by themselves or for bedtime stories.

3.0 out of 5 stars Damaged

d.s. · 12 December 2023

I've been so looking forward to gifting my son this book but unfortunately upon arrival I noticed that the book had this awful stain on the back. I can't seem to find the bit where I can ask for a replacement but hopefully I can try and sort something. Not really great when you're paying the money you are for the book. Stunning book inside regardless.

Love these books. Worth the money.

Easy to read simple writing and just enough information that doesnt overwhelm you. Great pictures. Great for homeschool and for kids that just want to pick up a book to learn something new.

Bello! Ma non in condizioni perfette

Libro molto bello, preso per un bambino a cui far crescere la curiosità nel conoscere le cose.Peccato che sia arrivato non in condizioni perfette (angoli lievemente usurati): per questo le 4 stelle.

Beautiful illustrations

Bought 2 of these for my nieces and they just loved them. This is not only a great gift, it’s a keeper in anyone’s collection for children and perhaps a book they may want to keep. I’ll be grabbing the additionals to this collection.

Damaged in Shipping

C. · 5 January 2024

As with all of the other books in this series, it is fantastic. A beautiful book!Unfortunately, the corners were damaged in shipping (bent and white corners). This is not the first time, Bolo, and I'm seriously considering not ordering books here anymore.Edit: Replacement arrived promptly after this rating.... was packed exactly the same as the last book and was damaged exactly the same as well.Bent and discolored (white) corners. Sending it back AGAIN....
