How well do you really know the planet you call home?
Hey There, Earth Dweller! takes curious young readers on a fun, fact-filled journey through Earth and beyond.

Along the way, discover fascinating facts, surprising science, and answers to questions about the extraordinary world all around us.
A vibrant mix of original illustrations and cleverly incorporated photographs of everyday objects brings big scientific ideas to life with humor and imagination.
