Product Description

Book Description

With fantastic ingenuity, this book comes with a 3D globe on elastic that children will be able to hold as they read through the book and refer to as they find out about where they are in relation to the rest of the world described in the book.

Product Description

Are you sitting comfortably with your seatbelts fastened? Then we are ready for take-off. Meet Earthworm and Airplane, your hosts, who will take you on a round-the-world journey (and maybe even into the solar system!) With the colourful and inventive paper-engineering that was used to explain the international languages of multiplication and music, the author and illustrator team, Maizels and Petty, have decided that it is time to get to grips with Geography, and their book helps you to discover that it is indeed a wonderful world! Their trademark enthusiasm helps to explain the mysteries of oceans, continents, mountains, rivers, countries and their inhabitants. An entertaining and absorbing read with ingenious pop-ups and moving parts, this book will launch you into the real world.

Fantastic 4 Feb 2004
By KP
Format:Hardcover
This is a brilliant book with loads of pop-ups, pullouts, flaps, even a 3D globe. I love it and so does my 5yr old. There's so much info, I've certainly learnt from it too!!! I think it would be great for anyone 5-6yrs and above.

More than just a pop-up
Amazingly interactive & full of facts about the world. Only down-side for me was that my pop-up globe, that you use with each page,was a bit squashed and therefore doesn't 'pop-up'... Read more
