Series: A Question of Geography

A fun, quirky geography series that tackles the questions other books are afraid to ask!

How is an earthquake like a stuck door? Why are tsunamis so terrible? And can goats REALLY sense an earthquake before it happens? Find out the answers to these questions and much more in this book!

With an engaging question and answer format, these books draw kids into geography in a fun way. Each book features one question per spread with a clear explanation to follow, maps, photos and fun and humorous illustrations. The quirky questions are designed to range from those that children will often ask to things they may never have thought of, but will still be keen to know the answer to.

Perfect reading for curious young geographers aged 8 and up.
