What's Planet Earth About

Publisher Summary

Discover the secrets of planet Earth, from its fiery insides to the landforms and lifeforms on its surface! Basher Science: Planet Earth is a compelling guide to a community of characters who keep the world in motion. This new edition has a fresh new look, and updated, fascinating facts! Learn just how hot it is at the Earth’s core and how volcanoes are created, before discovering the difference between peninsulas and plateaus, and exactly what is the mysterious El Niño. Key concepts such as fossil fuels and climate change are broken down and illustrated in Basher’s signature approachable style - making it easy for kids to understand these topical subjects. Children can also learn about the unique features of different environments around the world, from the frozen Arctic to the African savannah. Simon Basher’s vibrant illustrations combine with chatty, first-person text by expert author Daniel Gilpin to help readers understand the science behind the headlines. Perfect for home or school, Basher’s highly original books make difficult concepts tangible and understandable.
