Description
From the publishers who brought you Horrible Histories and Horrible Science, leave the colouring pencils at home, as we take a trip through some Horrible Geography. This award-winning series is written by Royal Geographical Society member Anita Ganeri, and illustrated by Mike Phillips (Horrible Histories: Gruesome Guides). For over twenty years Horrible Geography has taken the boring out of geological surveys, the dull out of drafting a map, and tedium out of tide tables.
Horrible Geography will have you laughing out loud as you learn a thing or two at the same time. Packed with hilarious illustrations and great facts that will have you rushing to share them with others, this is the book to help you laugh at the world around you. Whether you want to find out about far-flung places, or a little more about your own patch, Horrible Geography drops facts as quickly as jokes. This fantastic series of books brings geography to life, while quizzes, puzzles and activities keep boredom at bay.
This twelve book set features some of the best books in the series, from Odious Oceans to Cracking Coasts. Each is written by prolific children’s non-fiction author Anita Ganeri, and illustrated by the hilarious Mike Phillips. It’s the perfect set to support your child’s learning, and for children who haven’t previously gotten on with the subject. If you’re after more books that will make you laugh while you learn, check out the Murderous Maths series by Kjartan Poskitt.
