Wonders of the Natural World

a Dorling Kindersley book by David Burnie. (Pub. 2007)

A wonderful book to browse, this large format production introduces the reader to great wonders such as the Grand Canyon, Mount Everest, Antarctica and Great Barrier Reef. Each chapter opens with a spectacular photograph and follows this with explanations of how the landform was created and more facts and photographs of unique features. A colourful double page is also included on which wild creatures of that region are presented against a montage of their respective habitats.

Lots of informative reading for young people (Year 4 plus), who prefer books with illustrations.
