Take children on a grand tour of the highest places on earth in this striking book all about mountains.

From the salt flats of the Andes to the snow-capped peak of Mount Fuji, discover 10 of the world's most spectacular mountains, mountain ranges, and the animals and plants that live in them in this beautiful gift book for children.

This fascinating book on mountains offers:

- The first in a series of 4 books that takes children on a grand tour around the different habitats of the world.
- Everything you could want to know about habitats; the animals and plants that live there, the geography of the area, and plenty of incredible facts
- A giftable book with foil on the cover and edges, plus beautiful illustrations and photographs on every page.

Young nature enthusiasts can learn all about the impressive mountains of the world through clearly labelled illustrations breaking down each one. Each of the four chapters covers a different type of mountain: plateaus, volcanoes, mountain ranges, and tepuis, with a selection of both famous and less-well known places.

Every mountain or range is explored in detail, with intriguing information about its geography, and flora and fauna alongside detailed photography. Marvel at the towering Matterhorn in the Alps, mountain goats scrambling across cliff faces in the Rockies, and the tiny sandwort flowers that bloom more than 6,000m up in the Himalayas.
