Amazing Earth

written by Anita Ganeri ; illustrated by Tim Smart ; with a foreword by Steve Backshall

A stunning guided tour around Earth's most incredible and interesting places. When most people think of Earth's most amazing places, they think of Mount Everest or the Eiffel Tower. But there's so much more that our planet has to offer. Written by award-winning children's author, Anita Ganeri, with a foreword by wildlife and natural history presenter Steve Backshall MBE, this book will transport you to the far-flung reaches of the globe to discover places so incredible you'll barely be able to believe they are real. Have you ever seen a waterfall that looks like it's on fire, a cave filled with twinkling blue glowworms, or a bright pink lake? Well that's exactly the kind of thing the pages of this book are filled with (along with much, much more). This is the ultimate guide for curious kids with a love for learning. Every page dives deep into explaining the science behind various natural phenomena, a place's historical or cultural significance, and more. So if you're an eager explorer, turn the pages to discover natural wonders, stunning vistas, and other jaw-dropping places from around the world
