Our World

Mountains, oceans, deserts, weather and wildlife are laid out across illustrated spreads in this hardcover introduction to the planet. Our World, published by Parragon, presents earth science in short readable sections supported by diagrams and cutaway artwork. Complex processes are reduced to their essentials without being talked down, so a child can follow how a volcano behaves or why an ocean current matters. The balance of pictures and concise text suits browsing as much as reading front to back, which makes the book equally handy for a school project and for idle curiosity on a wet afternoon. What makes it useful: • A hardcover reference format built to survive regular use • Cutaway diagrams that explain rather than decorate • Short explanatory text pitched at younger readers • Coverage spanning landscapes, wildlife, weather and seas A sound choice for children, families and teachers wanting a first earth science reference, published by Parragon and available from Boipoka.
