Description

Go star-spotting, find out about cave-dwelling creatures, and discover a whole world of fascinating information in this gorgeously illustrated two-in-one book about the world. Read one way, Up and Down focuses on what's up above us - clouds, stars, the Sun and Moon, things that fly. Flip the book and read it the other way to find out what's down beneath our feet - burrowing animals, the Earth's crust, fossils, caves, the Earth's core. Colourful illustrations by Dawn Cooper bring a multitude of vivid scenes to life, from birds flying in bright blue skies to the inside of a volcano, while expert text from Jane Burnard engages the reader in learning all about the natural world.
