Full Description

A fun, quirky geography series that tackles the questions other books are afraid to ask!

How are some towns like magnets? Do people actually sleep in dormitory towns? And just how did polar bears save a remote town? Find out the answers to all these questions and much more in A Question of Geography: Settlements!

With an engaging question and answer format, these books draw kids into geography in a fun way. Each book features one question per spread with a clear explanation to follow, maps, photos and fun and humorous illustrations. The quirky questions are designed to range from those that children will often ask to things they may never have thought of, but will still be keen to know the answer to.
