An exciting and dramatic story about how life began and developed on Earth, written especially for younger children.

With 160 pages of illustrated maps, engaging infographics, mind-blowing photography and a large dose of humour, this is the atlas that shows kids what the world is really like. Touching on popular culture, sports and school life, this will bring the world to life for kids aged 8 and up.

Included in this book are 12 dinosaurs that are some of the most heavily armoured animals that ever roamed Earth. Some of these big, plodding herbivores were covered from head to toe in thick, leathery skin with arrays of protruding bony nodules and spikes. Others had huge plates rising out of their backs and sharp, spiky tails.

From grooming to feeding and taking the dogs for a walk, this text is a simple introduction to life at an animal rescue centre.
