Up And Down

Go star-spotting, find out about cave-dwelling creatures, and discover a whole world of fascinating information in this gorgeously illustrated two-in-one book about the world.

Read one way, Up and Down focuses on what’s up above us – clouds, stars, the Sun and Moon, things that fly. Flip the book and read it the other way to find out what’s down beneath our feet – burrowing animals, the Earth’s crust, fossils, caves, the Earth’s core.

Colourful illustrations by Dawn Cooper bring a multitude of vivid scenes to life, from birds flying in bright blue skies to the inside of a volcano, while expert text from Jane Burnard engages the reader in learning all about the natural world.

Jane Burnard has worked as a children’s books editor for many years, and more recently as a writer, translator, and gardener. She is the author of An Arctic Story and A Coral Reef Story.

Dawn Cooper is an illustrator whose work includes non-fiction books for children, book covers, maps and packaging, all heavily inspired by the natural world and its many creatures, as well as traditional botanical drawings and works of fiction.
