  This book is part of a series which aims to introduce children to basic geographical topics and vocabulary, building firm foundations for later work. Children will enjoy the device of a boy and his dog who explore the world in a hot air balloon and the humorous illustrations, which help to explain difficult geographical ideas in a clear and accessible way. There are also many activities for children to try out for themselves, encouraging them to investigate their own environment. This book looks at how our environment is made up of rocks, soil and water, and how land formations such as mountains, valleys and volcanoes were formed long ago.
