Description
This series uses cartoon-style illustrations and humorous narrative text to make key topics in Science and Geography accessible and engaging.
This approach encourages children to read about and understand complex ideas.
This is the story of how a special sort of stone formed deep inside the Earth, and came to the surface thousands of millions of years later.
The Rock Factory looks at how minerals turn into rock crystals, how the Earth is structured and how volcanoes happen.
This book also contains an experiment, useful websites and an index.
