The Explorers series is designed to appeal to all readers aged 6 to 8: those who are just starting to read alone and more confident readers who are beginning to exercise wider reading and cross-referencing skills. Lively, dramatic artwork scenes draw children into a subject, and each scene is followed by a photographic information spread that gives a wealth of extra detail. As a fun extra element, the reader can follow linked 'journeys' to access information on related topics. Planet Earth takes you on a journey around the planet we call home, finding out about all its wonders, from volcanic eruptions and mighty oceans to plants and animals and towns and cities.
