What on Earth Books & Britannica Books Spring/Summer 2023 Catalog (US)

Welcome to the What on Earth Books and Britannica Books Children’s Catalog

Inspiring young people to have a big picture perspective can be super hard given how busy we all are in our everyday lives, but that’s exactly what lies at the heart of our newly revised edition of the best-selling title Absolutely Everything! A History of Earth, Dinosaurs, Rulers, Robots, and Other Things Too Numerous to Mention.

With 32 more pages than the 2018 first edition, the book has been significantly expanded and broadened for a more global approach. It also updates young readers on the challenges of the world we face today, the critically important story of how humans and nature have lived in the past, and how we must rebalance this relationship to secure the planet for the future.

Meanwhile, our Britannica Books list goes from strength to strength after its launch in October 2020. Selling over 75,000 copies globally, our highly acclaimed FACTopia! series continues with a fourth title. Animal FACTopia! is a purrfectly amazing world of facts, where you will leapfrog from topic to topic in surprising and hilarious ways. Discover some of the planet’s cutest and funniest creatures, all brought to life by Andy Smith’s witty illustrations. For children who love facts but aren’t so sure about books, this series is the perfect solution!

So as we look forward to 2023, let’s remember that storytelling remains firmly at the heart of what makes us human. Time has proven again and again that there’s no better way of kindling the imagination and creativity of young people than by making books that immerse them in wonder and awe—and that, as I hope you will see from the pages in this catalog, is exactly what we strive to do!

Best wishes, Christopher Lloyd CEO, Founder, What on Earth Publishing
