About this item

This unique pictorial atlas presents the formation, features, animals, and birds of the world with beautiful, hand-drawn illustrations. The atlas is divided into three parts: Earth, Animals, and Birds.

In Earth, the reader can discover how our world formed and the forces that continue to shape it today. With a mix of illustrations and photos, this section brings geology to life, explaining such features as volcanoes, earthquakes, rivers, rocks, glaciers, and geysers.

In the Animals and Birds sections, the pages take a tour around the world to show where iconic species live. Each animal or bird is illustrated, described, and its location shown on a map, which puts into context the kind of habitat that the creature lives in and how this affects its behavior, from what it eats to when it sleeps, and what it looks like.

This book also comes with an exclusive poster featuring birds and animals shown in the book. The gorgeous vintage-style original illustrations are a wonderful way to brighten any wall.

Discover aspects, facts, and unique features of the Earth's geology, animals, and birds in this book's 189 pages. Featuring beautiful images and illustrations, intrepid young children, ages 9 - 12, will find a treasure trove of fun and intriguing facts.
