Knowledge Encyclopedia Planet Earth! (2022)

Knowledge Encyclopedia Planet Earth!, 2022 edition The pick for the child who wants to know what is happening under their feet. A companion to DK's Knowledge Encyclopedia, its 208 pages for ages nine to twelve use computer-generated cross-sections and cutaways to show what goes on inside a volcano, a hurricane or a flood. Beyond the natural disasters children ask about first, it covers the planet's long history, its habitats, climate change and the human footprint, so the follow-up questions have somewhere to go too. It is the Earth-science volume to pair with a space book, for the child whose curiosity points down rather than up.
