What if the Earth's core was made of polystyrene?
Or every tree vanished overnight? Or clouds were made from candy floss? Find out the answers to these questions and many more with science author Emma Young!
Prepare to learn all about the Earth from rocks to rivers and clouds to climate. However, this isn't another dry textbook. You'll be drawn into each topic with one of 33 amusing questions that are guaranteed to make you think about our planet in a whole new way. Author Emma Young explains the answers with humour and plenty of science facts that you'll be racing to share with your friends and family.
Even reluctant listeners will find this audiobook irresistible to dip into to find out the answers to the wacky, bizarre, and surprising questions, making this a perfect gift for any child.
Emma Young is a science journalist and author, who has written for the Guardian, the Sydney Morning Herald, and New Scientist. She has also written popular science books for both adults and children, including an adaptation of Bill Bryson's The Body for children – A Really Short Journey Through the Body.
Super Freak, aka Dan Whitehouse, is a Birmingham based illustrator who draws you into his world of cartoon characters and positive vibes with humour and a primary colour palette to dazzle your senses. He takes inspiration from Pop Art and Mid Century comics, combining a crew of cheeky characters and graffiti-inspired compositions with bright bold colours to create work full of energy and optimism.
AJ Aster-Stubberfield’s energetic voice brings all these volcanic facts to life. When they are not narrating they are acting specifically in EastEnders.
