🍡 Discover the Earth 🍡

🍡 An informative interactive book🍡

🌿 Review and photos by mother Seham Ebied, and I have some comments that I will write after the review😊

Discover the Earth... a quick journey full of essential information and interesting facts about planet Earth, the different environments on its surface, and the animals that live in those environments.

An informative cardboard book with windows and flaps for the child to interact with the information and for the questions to stimulate their spirit of discovery.

🏝 The book includes the following titles:

- Earth and the Solar System 🌞🪐🌍

In this section, we learn about the planets and their names, and specifically about Earth, its movement, its distance from the sun, its shape, and its most important features.

- The Sea 🌊

Here we descend into the depths of seas and oceans to discover the most important marine creatures, and learn about the "Gulf Stream", what "bioluminescence" is, the "anglerfish", and other marine organisms.

- The Poles ❄

We learn about the North and South Poles and the most important creatures that live there, the difference between the North and South Poles, polar bears, walruses, penguins, and others.

- Tropical Rainforests 🌴🌲🌴

We learn about the biodiversity in these forests, the nature of life there, their locations, and the most important creatures that live in them, such as sloths, jaguars, Amazon river dolphins, and others.

- Mountains 🗻🗻

We learn about the most prominent animals that make mountains their home, such as mountain goats, eagles, chamois, and ermines.

- The Desert 🏜

The discussion here is divided into talking about the North American desert and the African desert.

Each desert is distinguished by different characteristics from the other, whether in terms of the plants that grow in it or the animals that inhabit it.

- The Savanna 🌿

This refers to the African savanna. Here we learn about the nature of the environment there, the shape of the land, the climate, the animals that inhabit it, and some of their ways of life.

- The Earth's Interior 🌋

In this section, we learn about the layers of the Earth and the things found inside the Earth.

🛑 About the book:

- The book uses some unfamiliar words and beautiful literary terms, but they are not of a type that makes the text difficult to understand.

- However, there are very strange words that I have never heard before, and I could not find a meaning for them even after searching online, such as the word (أغوطيات / agoutis) mentioned among the prey that jaguars feed on!

- Some incorrect information (and it seems to have happened inadvertently during translation or writing)... as it was mentioned under the title (The Poles) that penguins inhabit the North Pole!

And about the moon, it is written (The moon is Earth's only natural artificial satellite) >> artificial and natural together... it seems to be a literal translation of the original text.

- The original text uses American units of measurement (mile/inch/Fahrenheit... etc.), and in the Arabic text, International System of Units (kilometer/cm... etc.) were used in parentheses in most places, but in some places, the American measurements remained as they were, which requires us to search for them in the international measurements known to us.

=====================

The book is large (page 30 cm x 20 cm approximately)

It has many flaps (more than 60 flaps) that the child turns to learn more information or to find the answer to a question.

The illustrations are beautiful and clear with vibrant colors suitable for each of the mentioned environments.

Number of pages: 19 pages

The entire text is vocalized.

The book is translated into Arabic from the original English version published by the Italian publishing house:

White Star Publishers

And the Arabic version was published by (Dar Maktabat Al Maarif Publishers)

🌿 Comments on the review 

1- The animal Agouti is what is meant by the translation... and the animal, according to my information, has the same name in Arabic (أغوتي / Agouti) and it resembles a wild boar.

2- Penguins live in the South Pole 🤭 please correct this.

3- Please delete the word "artificial" in the definition of the moon.

4- As for the units 😍 I feel like one can hold a session or sessions to introduce the units, their differences between countries, and how to convert between them😁

🌿 Note

The amount of information is large compared to other interactive books, and the pictures are really beautiful, and dividing the topics in this way makes understanding easier.
