Enjoy Disney's Earth adventure for free!
The fantastic children's encyclopedia collection continues tomorrow, with Book 2 in the Disney's Wonderful World of Knowledge series, Planet Earth.
Find out how Earth was formed, all about days and seasons, earthquakes, volcanoes, glaciers, deserts, gravity and much, much more in this fascinating book.
With lots of bright, colourful illustrations, photographs, maps and diagrams, your child can learn all about Earth in a fun and accessible way. Each page is packed with facts, written in short, easy to read paragraphs, perfect for children who are just starting to read, and also for older children who need information for school projects.
Written by a team of experts including Derek Elsom, Professor of Climatology at Oxford Brookes University; it's a stunning introduction to the world we all live in. It also includes a handy glossary of key words, from acid rain and atmosphere, to trade winds and tsunami; and an index.
Each different topic includes one of the Disney characters: Goofy and Donald glide down a glacier, Mickey and Minnie are blow away by a tornado, and Donald fishes beside some polar bears, which makes this book great fun even for very young readers.Planet Earth is ideal for sharing with children and its attractive maps and diagrams make the information given easy to understand.
There are lots of amazing facts to wonder at. Did you know the world has about 10,000 different grasses or that the Atacama Desert in South America has had no rain for 400 years?
It's never too early to introduce children to books, and this collection would be an asset to any household, library or school. Look out for Book 3 in the collection, The Human Body, next week.
