An Anthology of Our Extraordinary Earth (DK Children's Anthologies)

Description:

Explore the beauty and majesty of planet Earth in this compendium, with more than 100 incredible stories and images.

The world is so much more complex than young minds can fathom, from molten-hot rock and smoldering volcanoes to icy glaciers and bubbling springs. This book about the Earth for kids aged 7+ unlocks all the mysteries of our living, breathing planet.

An Anthology of Our Extraordinary Earth looks at our constantly changing planet, with striking images and scientific ideas that are easy for children to understand. Starting at the center of the Earth, the book examines each layer in forensic detail: from Earth’s metallic core, drilling through Earth’s tough crust until emerging out onto the planet’s surface, with its lush green rainforests, sparkling oceans, and snow-capped mountains, before sailing up into Earth’s airy atmosphere.

This detailed planet Earth book for kids offers:  

- More than 100 stories about planet Earth, from snowflakes to cave pearls, each one accompanied by a photograph and delightful illustration.
- Creative photography that presents planet Earth in surprising and remarkable ways, capturing nature in action or showing intriguing features up close.
- Beautiful gold foil, gilded edges, and a ribbon for keeping your place.
- In-depth feature pages that examine each layer of Earth.

This striking book won’t fail to excite budding geologists, geographers, environmentalists, and all-round planet Earth enthusiasts everywhere. 

With foil on the cover, gilded edges, and a ribbon for keeping your place, this Earth book makes an attractive gift for any child who is fascinated by our planet. With engaging information and absorbing images, this anthology is great for children to explore by themselves or for bedtime stories.

J.R. · July 5, 2025

These book series are beautifully made. The artwork is as educational as the words. I have children up to 16 years old who enjoy these books. They are easy reading, but have key facts that encourages deeper learning or research.

My children absolutely love the books in this series, especially this book. Every night my son and daughter ask us to read a few pages to them and to research the specific topics for further information. This book has amazing quality; from the pictures to the cover art. We already have 5 books in this series and expect to purchase more.

I honestly can't say enough about these books and how incredible they are. The images and writing are impressive, the books themselves are wonderfully substantial and long-lasting, and the gilt edging on the pages makes them feel very special. They are a fabulous gift as well as looking great on your own bookshelf.

Libro molto bello, preso per un bambino a cui far crescere la curiosità nel conoscere le cose.Peccato che sia arrivato non in condizioni perfette (angoli lievemente usurati): per questo le 4 stelle.

Beautiful book

A.C. · June 26, 2025

This series of “anthology” books are so beautiful. My daughter (9) has been collecting them for a few years and absolutely loves them. She sits and read for hours, looking at the beautiful pictures and sharing interesting facts. They are not super difficult reads, but so many cool facts. And sometimes just having it be “beautiful” makes it feel more special and like a real treasure to sit and experience.
