This highly popular and long-running series has been revamped for a new generation of readers, with a clean, crisp redesign and colourful covers. The series explores questions that young readers ask about the world around them in an unrivalled child-friendly style. The conversational format is perfect for delivering solid information in a natural, amusing and imaginative way. Taking as its starting point a child's desire to understand the world, this illustrated book focuses on our planet, asking questions such as: why does the wind blow?, how big was the largest snowman ever built?, and, why do animals sometimes fall out of the sky?

Children are fascinated by the world around them, and "why" is a favourite word. This series takes as its starting point this natural desire to understand the world, and then feeds it with text and illustrations designed both to entertain and to inform. This book focuses on the earth sciences and covers topics such as how high the sky is and how to tell whether an earthquake is coming.
