This
is a rich source of geographical information presented in an engaging
format. See Inside, in fact, does not refer to the inside of the
planet, but the lift-the-flap format used by the authors to convey a
huge amount of information about atmosphere, climates, environments,
ecosystems and issues. This is a strongly geographical book informed by
the most up-to-date conclusions about the future of the planet. Issues
are presented in an easy-to-understand, but not over-simplified manner,
providing a clear agenda for action on global problems in a format that
will appeal to young children. This is not just a book about climate
change, but a source that could be used to stimulate enquiries about a
range of environmental concerns from deforestation to sustainable
fishing to local action on transport and waste. It will be a valuable
addition to any school's library and could provide a stimulus for group
or whole-class discussion. The lift-the-flap format encourages hands-on
involvement and the high quality, robust presentation will make this a
long-lasting and durable resource. See inside Planet Earth
A brilliant flap book that delves deep into the mysteries of the geography of the Earth.
