Mountain
A beautiful gift book for children that explores the mountains of the world.
This stunning book all about mountains takes children on a grand tour of the highest places on Earth.
From the salt flats of the Andes to the snow-capped peak of Mount Fuji, discover 10 of the world's most spectacular mountains and mountain ranges, and the animals and plants that live in them. The chapters cover four different types of mountain: plateaus, volcanoes, mountain ranges, and tepuis, with a selection of both famous and less-well known places. Every mountain or range is explored in detail, with intriguing information about its geography, flora, and fauna alongside detailed photography and beautiful illustrations.
Marvel at the towering Matterhorn in the Alps, mountain goats scrambling across cliff faces in the Rockies, and the tiny sandwort flowers that bloom more than 6,000m up in the Himalayas. As well as the wonders of these remote areas, the threats facing mountains and their species are also investigated.
Mountain will be treasured for years to come. With foil on the cover and sprayed edges, this book makes the perfect gift for any child with a passion for the natural world.
