What on Ear th Books & Britannica Books
Backlist Included
Welcome to the What on Earth Books and Britannica Books Children’s Catalog What a fabulous selection of titles we have in store for you this autumn season! One of our main objectives at What on Earth Books and Britannica Books is to help children see the world differently. And there’s no better example than our beautifully illustrated flagship Autumn 2021 title from geologist Steve Tomecek, Earth Is Big. This large format 48-page volume provides a unique context for our planet, comparing it with a cornucopia of objects from the smallest to the largest, from the roundest to the most pointy! We are also thrilled to present new additions to our WoEB series. For younger readers, we have two more titles in the Zoom board book series—join Maxie in Building Site Adventure and Bo in Farm Adventure. For children 7+, there’s Amazing Rivers, the third in our Amazing World series. Travel along many of the world’s most breathtaking waterways from the Amazon to the Ganges and find out how our planet’s majestic rivers have not only cradled the first human civilizations but continue to shape life as we know it today. On the Britannica Books list, we are delighted to present the Britannica First Big Book of Why which features more than 100 beautifully illustrated and fascinating answers to a series of questions of the sort young children ask all day long. To round out this catalog, there is our growing backlist, featuring award-winning titles from both What on Earth Books and Britannica Books. We hope they will continue to inspire everyone who believes, as we do, that the real world really is far more amazing than anything you can make up. Best wishes,
