Content

This book takes children on a journey to the New World with the Vikings and Columbus, lets them discover animals in South America with Humboldt and find treasures in Tutankhamun’s burial chamber with Carter. And who were the first explorers at the South Pole and on Mount Everest? Adventurous journeys like these were undertaken for a variety of reasons: to increase power, to advance science or to attain glory. This book introduces children to their fascinating background stories.

The WWW series stands out for its playful, enticing way of conveying just the information that kids want to know. Centered on who-what-how questions, the titles in the series explore subjects of great interest to young children. The thousands of questions children ask daily are answered by means of interactive elements, engaging illustrations, and age-appropriate texts. Because the lively illustrations convey so much, the books hold children's interest even without an adult to read the clear, friendly texts. WWW is ideally suited for preschool and kindergarten ages, for children 4 to 7 years old.
