Planet Earth: Level 2

Children's Literature

In this enchanting book, young readers take a journey through geography, space exploration, deserts, and even underground caves. Readers proceed from a map of the solar system to the core of the earth, gathering illuminating details about earthquakes, the formation of mountains, running rivers, caves, icebergs, and dusty deserts. Andy Tudor’s illustrations are particularly vivid and appealing to the eye, allowing readers to travel into mountains, under the earth to see the formation of volcanoes, beneath the ocean, through the Grand Canyon, and into the world of underground caves filled with stalactites and stalagmites. Each illustration allows the reader to step into the visual features and geography of the earth and gain a deeper understanding of ecology, geography, geology, weather, erosion, and scientific principles. This is a visual, imaginative journey that will appeal to young scientists and budding explorers of all ages. It would be a wonderful addition to any library and is highly recommended.
