The other day, my son and I read the book “How the Earth Works” with beautiful illustrations by Bomboland Studio, published by the publishing house MIF. The book tells about our planet, starting with lithospheric plates, continuing with volcanoes, mountains, glaciers, then moving to rivers, caves and deserts. Then there are stories about the shores, the ocean floor, weather and storms. The book is valuable precisely for its cool illustrations, some of which are hidden in pockets - there is additional information hidden there.
