Wild About Planet Earth

Mountains, oceans, weather and ecosystems get the full illustrated treatment for readers still building confidence with nonfiction. Wild About Planet Earth presents earth science to children in short blocks of text paired with colour illustrations, quizzes and activities. Anna Claybourne, with contributions from Clare Oliver and Peter D. Riley, keeps explanations concrete and the page layouts varied, which suits independent reading and reading aloud with an adult equally well. A thread about caring for the environment runs alongside the factual material rather than being bolted on at the end. Features at a glance: • Short, bite-sized facts arranged across illustrated spreads • Quizzes and activities built into the book • Sections on landforms, oceans, weather and wildlife • An environmental awareness thread for young readers Made for primary-age children, parents and school libraries, available at Boipoka.
