From the top of Everest to the deepest point in the ocean, children will journey to some of the Earth's extraordinary spots. Between the covers of this book are pop-up mountains and volcanoes, lift-the-flap continents and countries, swirling storms, jittering earthquakes, and much, much more. There is even a pop-up globe for kids to twirl as they learn hundreds of fascinating facts about our special planet. Petty and Maizels have created a unique book that takes the terror out of geography through an irresistible combination of quips, hints, exuberant illustrations, and ingenious paper mechanics.
