About the Book

From source to sea, go on a breath-taking adventure along a river and explore some of the greatest waterways of the world, with fold-out pages.

Rivers flow across every continent on our planet, shaping the land and bringing life. Towns, cities and entire civilisations have grown up on their banks, from the Ancient Mesopotamians 5,000 years ago. Turn the pages to follow the incredible journey of a river from its source in high up in the mountains, along its gorges, through its valleys, down its waterfalls and into the sea. Explore the river's geography, discover the unique wildlife it supports, see how the waterways have shaped our world - and how we have shaped them.

Featuring fold-out pages of six great rivers from around the world: Amazon (South America), Nile (Africa), Mississippi (North America), Rhine (Europe), Ganges (Asia) and Murray (Australia).

Written by self-confessed explorer and children's author Simon Chapman, expertly checked by river ecologist Francois Edwards and beautifully illustrated by Qu Lan.

Review :
With six spectacular fold-out sections depicting The Nile, Rhine, Amazon, Mississippi, Ganges and Murray rivers this highly illustrated large format hardback is packed with accessible information about the environment, topography, impact of humans, and unique features of each watercourse. Highly recommended for KS2. Highly recommended for use in class, or to enjoy at home, whether bought (because who wouldn't want a copy?) or borrowed from a library. This beautiful book is perfect for future pub quiz champions, with fold-out pages of 6 rivers. Information is presented attractively, interspersing geographical information with interesting facts from history, foldout pages illustrate each river, crammed with interesting nuggets of information spanning many decades.
