This book is incredibly fun. All kinds of subjects like continental drift, the water cycle, and the Big Bang theory are covered within this interactive book. Pull tabs, and pop-ups adorn this colorful and creative book. I would actively use this book to introduce a new lesson to a class. (

This book is very bright with great pictures and information about Earth. It explains everything from how the earth began, to how it moves, the water cycle, weather, etc.. It also has pop ups and pull tabs with more information. I think this would be a great book for an elementary science class with good quality information. (

Great information, engaging illustrations. This book "wowed" my students and several have written the title down so they can check it out at their local library. Great book to read bits and pieces each day to extend knowledge. (

This was a very clever pop up book with different interactions with items you pulled and turned and lifted and it was very informative on how things work in the world.

This is a great pop-up / interactive book that gives a brief overview of the many aspects of Earth. From the creation of our world to Earth's timeline, plate tectonics, the water & carbon cycle, photosynthesis and the food web, this book is a great way to engage students in topics before learning about them!
