An Anthology of Our Extraordinary Earth

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 smoldering 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 center 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 accompanied by a photograph and illustration; creative photography that presents the planet in surprising ways; beautiful gold foil, gilded edges, and a ribbon bookmark; and in-depth feature pages examining each Earth layer.
