The Earth Book
Thomas Hegbrook
This big format book is a stunning exploration of our home planet. On thick paper with glorious graphics and beautiful page design it’s a book to pore over and savour. Children and adults alike will love the way each spread is dedicated to a single topic making each page an easily digestible subject from ‘How the Earth was formed’ to ‘Influential Earthlings’ across ‘Poles’, ‘Islands’ and ‘Oceans’. Great for classroom use but a real treasure to add to the bookshelf at home, this would make a wonderful gift for any young readers with a blossoming interest in the world around them. The text itself is probably suited to a competent reader 9+, but the stunning production and illustrations makes it accessible way beyond the potential reading age. It’s a great way to introduce conversations about animals, plants and people and raise questions about the environment to even the youngest readers.
