Welcome to the What on Earth Books and Britannica Books Children’s Catalog Research has shown that the sooner children are exposed to the sounds and sights of meaningful words and pictures, the better their brains will develop. The experts at Britannica Books are working to create the best resources for the youngest children. That’s why we’re thrilled to present the flagship title for Fall 2022— Britannica’s Baby Encyclopedia for children under three, exploring big ideas from a baby's eye view. This large-format board book covers animals, plants, the body, machines, and more, with over 200 stunning illustrations. Our third title in the best-selling FACTopia! series is Gross FACTopia! Follow the trail of 400 foul facts from rank rodents and gory gastronomy, to people who use poop as makeup! Facts are linked by ingenious trails slithering from topic to topic in stomach-churning ways. Our What on Earth Books imprint launches three new titles. Human Kindness explores heroic acts of generosity, the science of kindness, and how children can prioritize kindness every day. The Longest, Shortest Day explores children’s daily lives around the world through the lens of a single day, June 21st, when there is a solstice. Illustrated by artists from all over the world, who depict their home countries with authority and beauty. Where in the World Are You? is a picture book where readers imagine their own home from different perspectives, by zooming out and back in again. It beautifully captures the spirit of what we believe in at What on Earth Publishing—encouraging children, and their parents, to see the world differently, with interest and wonder. Best wishes, Christopher Lloyd CEO, Founder, What on Earth Publishing
