Well, this book did that to me. I LOVE this book.
This book makes you want to shut yourself in a room and curl up and not move until every last drop has been absorbed.
Far more than a Did You Know? fact book, What's Where in the World is a pictorial combination of atlas, geographical study, history book and compendium of the flora and fauna of our planet.
It's also a study of the human population and its origins, whereabouts, expected life span, food intake and more more more, all presented in a dynamic, beautifully-illustrated way that will thoroughly engage children.
Where will you find the world's heaviest rainfall? Snowfall? (You may be surprised.) Where have the world's dinosaur fossils been found? Where are predators in proliferation? What about venomous creatures? And bird migration? Deforestation? (You will be horrified to learn how few forests are left.)
Where is the highest concentration of people on the planet? Where do Nomads live? What is the concentration of our aged population? What about poverty? Billionaires? Literacy? Pollution? Should I go on?
Book sections include:
Land, sea and air
Living world
People and planet
Engineering and technology
History
Culture
and also features flags of the world, full world maps and an index.
Beyond a priceless school and library resource, this is mind boggling and truly fascinating information book is specifically designed to attract kids. Gorgeously designed and laid out - as DK do so well - this is true fact book heaven.
