This is another colorful, informative book from Usborne. It has sturdy pages, and is less wordy than some of their others. It's a great introduction to our planet, covering geographical features like deserts, the polar regions, jungles, mountains, the coast, and rivers, as well as volcanoes and earthquakes, and some forms of weather like storms and seasons.
It also has a nice, brief (and illustrated) explanation for how and why some parts of Earth are dark at the same time as others are light. At the end, there are some brief tips on how to better take care of our planet.
I bought this sight unseen, wondering if it would work for my almost-two-year-old. I think she's still a bit young to sit for the whole thing, but my four-year-old loves it. There is a lot to look at on each page, which is good but may mean that very young preschoolers don't get to read all the text if they still need a steady rhythm of page turning to hold their attention. But, the text is broken up enough that it's easy to simply omit certain parts if necessary.
But either way, it is a great book for us, and a great way to help children see how wonderful and diverse our planet is.
