The usborne books are my all time favourite to read with my kids！ I find the pictures a real treat， and always learn something myself。

An extremely interesting， interactive， and informative book about the world。 My three-year-old and I read the whole book in one half-hour sitting。 We both ended up learning a lot and I have to commend the authors for a totally factual presentation with really interesting illustrations and flaps to open。 I'll be on the lookout for more in this range as I was so impressed with this book。 An extremely interesting， interactive， and informative book about the world。 My three-year-old and I read the whole book in one half-hour sitting。 We both ended up learning a lot and I have to commend the authors for a totally factual presentation with really interesting illustrations and flaps to open。 I'll be on the lookout for more in this range as I was so impressed with this book。 。。。more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 Love this book！ Such a useful resource that I would definitely use in practice for teaching both geography and science。 The first page is an overview of our world。 This page includes an explanation around the sun， what’s under our world （the plates， the outer core and the mantle）， the moon and the different parts of our world （the equator， the poles） The flaps certainly make the book more fun for a child to be able to read and also encourages them to read more than they probably would want to as Love this book！ Such a useful resource that I would definitely use in practice for teaching both geography and science。 The first page is an overview of our world。 This page includes an explanation around the sun， what’s under our world （the plates， the outer core and the mantle）， the moon and the different parts of our world （the equator， the poles） The flaps certainly make the book more fun for a child to be able to read and also encourages them to read more than they probably would want to as they’ll most likely enjoy turning over the flaps and at first glance of the pages there doesn’t look to be too much information but in reality once they turn over the flaps they’ll have read almost double the amount of information。 The second page is all about running rivers。 It has a brief explanation about what a river is， using simple language to help the children understand。 It again has flaps。 The flaps on this page are very good as for one part it shows what could happen if some sections of the rocks on the river would collapse which would then result in a splashing waterfall。 It also has a flap which shows the behind process of the running river。 So when the flap hasn’t been turned over it looks like an ordinary picture but when you turn over the flap it has the reoccurring process of running rivers （1- the sun heats up the water in the sea。 2- the heat turns the sea water into tiny droplets。 3- the droplets join together to make clouds。。。 4- 。。。and rain falls onto the mountain。 This is known as the water cycle） The third page is on fascinating forests。 It involves a brief explanation about what a rainforest is: “rainforests are huge， thick forests that grow around the equator。 They’re home to thousands of different living things”。 There is information about what creatures you can find living in these rainforests， the plants in the rainforests and tribes which live in the rainforests。The fourth page is all about the watery world。 It involves a brief explanation about the watery world: “nearly three-quarters of the earth is covered by huge stretches of water， called seas and oceans”。 There is only one flap on this page。 On the upside of the flap it shows what can be seen/what happens above the water （divers getting ready to dive and find out more about what goes on underneath the water， dolphins coming up to the surface for sea， says where sea meets land is called a coast， sea birds nest in the cliffs， turtles come onto the beach to lay eggs in the sand and sea lions are animals that live on land but hunt for food in the sea）。 The underneath flap shows a distance view of what happens underneath the sea， starting at the top which is just below the water all the way down to the very bottom of the sea bed。 including: （further down， the sea is much darker and colder; some sea creature are very， very big。。。， black smoke puffs out murky water from under the seabed and some fish swim in big groups called schools）。 Some of the flaps contain brief information on the top and the underneath of the flap goes into more detail。 The first is the coral reef， stating that coral look like plants but they’re actually small animals and then underneath it has a more zoomed in picture of corals and more information such as corals have stinging testicles to kill creatures。 Another one says that there are white tip reef sharks which is swimming after a diver and are fierce hunters。。。 *turn over flap* but most sharks are more scared of people。 The next is the fishing net which closed around fish and then underneath the flap it says that they get pulled up onto the boat。 The fish will then be taken to shore and sold。 The fifth page， this page is called dry world。 On the left page it is all about deserts again with a brief description about what a dessert is: “desserts are the driest places in the world。 They can be very hot， or very cold”。 The flaps have basic information on the front a bit more detail underneath。 For an example， “it’s very windy” *turn over flap* “sand is blown into big hills， called dunes”。 On the right of the page is about Antarctica。 Again with some information on the top of the flaps and then more detail underneath the flap。 For an example。 “Scientists come to study Antarctica。 They live in research stations” *turn over flaps* “scientists send big balloons high into the sky to find out about the atmosphere。 They weigh and measure animals。。。 to check that they are healthy”。The sixth page is called what about us？ The brief description on this page states that “the earth produces lots of useful things。 Here are some of the ways we use them。。。”。 The page states ways that electricity can be generated （wind farm， electricity is made in power stations by burning oil， gas or coal）。 The flaps underneath how electricity is generated goes into more detail behind these processes （solar panels turn the suns heat and light into electricity， spinning blades from wind turbines make electricity， coal is rock dug out of the ground and oil and gas come from deep underground。 They’re pumped out through rigs）。 There are then many things we use electricity to work: lights for the street， heat to cook food， movie cinemas， electricity for trains and trimmers for gardening）。The seventh and final page is called extraordinary earth。 Which is how the earth would look if it was rolled out。 It’s an overview of the map and the flaps have information about the different parts of the world。 For an example “the islands of Hawaii are part of the USA” *turn over flap* “Hawaii is very wet。 In some places， it rains every day” and “Russia” *turn flap over* “a huge forest， known as the taiga， covers most of the northern Russia。 Bears and tigers live there” and “Africa” *turn flaps over* “Africa is home to lots of different animals。 Camels live in the desert。 Gorillas live in the African rainforest。 elephants live on the savannah grassland。 They’re the biggest land animal”。 。。。more
