The Go Facts Natural Disasters strand contains topical information on recent natural disasters such as the Indian Ocean Tsunami and Hurricane Katrina. The set of books covers all the nonfiction text types - information report, explanation, recount, instructions, discussion and persuasion. Other writing features such as compare and contrast, problem and solution, and cause and effect are included to show pupils how they can improve their non-fiction writing by incorporating these structures into their own work. Also inside are labelled illustrations, experiments, tables, maps, timelines and captions. Suitable for reading ages 8-10.

Addresses topical issues in a way that makes them accessible for primary schools. All the non-fiction text types are covered by the series. Concepts and main ideas are supported by maps, diagrams and stunning photography. Simple layout with large, clear headings and sub-headings. In 2003, the Animals strand of Go Facts won the Basic Skills Book Award for Best Literacy Series.
