Up and Down
Go star-spotting, find out about cave-dwelling creatures, and discover a whole world of fascinating information about our planet in this gorgeously illustrated two-in-one book about the world.
Read one way, Up and Down focuses on what’s up above us – clouds, stars, the Sun and Moon and things that fly. Then flip the book and read it the other way to find out what’s down beneath our feet – burrowing animals, the underground transport system, fossils, caves and the Earth’s core.
Colourful illustrations by Dawn Cooper bring a multitude of vivid scenes to life, from the inside of a volcano to birds flying in bright blue skies, while expert text from Jane Burnard and Tracey Turner helps inquisitive children learn all about the natural world.
Jane Burnard has worked as a children’s books editor for many years, and more recently as a writer, translator, and gardener. She is the author of An Arctic Story and A Coral Reef Story.
Dawn Cooper is an illustrator whose work includes non-fiction books for children, book covers, maps and packaging, all heavily inspired by the natural world and its many creatures, as well as traditional botanical drawings and works of fiction.
