Publisher's Synopsis
Our Amazing Planet: Introduction to Geography for Young Scientists begins with a brief explanation of geography as a science. Its clear, simple text then launches into a study of the earth from the inside out. It covers the layers of the earth from its core to its crust, exploring its land and water features, what makes the seasons, its three main climate zones and seven major biomes. The book's vibrant illustrations, which include maps of climate zones and biomes, add to the clarity of the text. Each chapter of the book ends with a summating hands-on activity.
