Absolutely loved reading this to my kids. They learnt so much in such a fun interactive manner

These "Look Inside" books made by Usborne are phenomenal! The illustrations in combination with the intricately designed flaps make non-fiction so engaging for my 4 year old. Look Inside Our World cleverly introduces young readers to natural geography. There are at least 10 well crafted flaps on each page inviting the readers to first get introduced to various natural resources of our world and then lift a flap to either see another stage in the natural process or get more depth on how the process works. For example the page about water demonstrates how fresh water starts in the mountain tops (then by lifting a flap we see how rain is formed), flows down rivers (then by lifting flap we learned how rivers carve canyons), can get stopped at reservoirs (then by lifting a flap we see how people use the reservoir), and finally flows to the ocean. They even make an astute connection in the "Deserts" section showing how deserts can be made of sand but also deserts can be ice like in Antarctica. I can't believe these natural processes have been depicted in a way that a 4 year old continues to learn and enjoy and even laugh - especially that flap with an octopus squirting ink.

An extremely interesting, interactive, and informative book about the world. My three-year-old and I read the whole book in one half-hour sitting. We both ended up learning a lot and I have to commend the authors for a totally factual presentation with really interesting illustrations and flaps to open. I'll be on the lookout for more in this range as I was so impressed with this book.
