The Non-fiction accompanying book is The Magic School Bus Presents Volcanoes and Earthquakes this picture filled book is ideal for younger children to read about the planet that we live on and what happens underneath the soil.Why not encourage children to research a particular element of the story that they found interesting? Children who feel comfortable doing so can share their findings with the class so that everyone learns something new. And for a thrilling adventure that spans across an online world and reality, try ' Raider's Peril'. It's great for supporting learning about safe internet usage. It just feels that instead of creating an actual story and characters you can relate to, the author chose to focus on a non-existent mystery and a formulatic writing style. (I mean, seriosuly- 45% in, and still you have no idea where the story goes, or what the author wants from you. The writing is truly all over the place).

One of our favourite Fossils Books which we have featured here on Rainy Day Mum twice creating some fizzy fossil eggs and fossils from modeling clay Digging up Dinosaurs by Aliki is a factual story about the work of a Paleontologist and covers how some of the fossils that are dug up are formed.Malm forcefully unmasks the assumption that economic growth has inevitably brought us to the brink of a hothouse Earth. Rather, as he shows in a subtle and surprising reinterpretation of the Industrial Revolution, it has been the logic of capital (especially the need to valorize immense sunk investments in fossil fuels), not technology or even industrialism per se, that has driven global warming.
