What I think the book does particularly well is simplify and explain some complicated ideas for children. How difficult was it to do this and how important were the illustrations in achieving this? Technically a PvP event (even though in PvP you battle AI anyway) you have to beat opponents to go through the: Hatchling (Common), Prey (Common), Survivor (Rare), Hunter (Super Rare), Predator (Legendary) and Dominator (Tournament) Leagues. You get a prize depending on which league you finish in. Jurassic World: The Game has battle events that are scheduled each week. These PvE (player vs. environment) events allow the player to see their opponents for each round and select their teams according to the requirements for the event.

Informative, accessible illustrations by Sophie Williams make this so much more than your standard geography book. About This Edition ISBN: BOOKS FOR TOPICS REVIEW: We often get asked about books to support the 'Awesome Earth' or 'Natural Disasters' topics for KS2 and we think we may have just found the perfect one. Each event is explained in a way that is easy to understand for junior children without compromising on presenting the underlying scientific facts. A real strength of the book is how highly visual it is, with appealing diagrams, large illustrations, maps and charts contributing greatly to the reader's understanding of each topic. This is a wonderful book with a high level of appeal and certainly one to recommend for KS2 classrooms as a topic book or a really interesting read for pleasure. Avalanches are dissected and explained through physics, physical geography and meteorology. Children will know what to look out for if they find themselves on a mountain or a ski slope. And there’s more – meteorological disasters – cyclones, tornadoes, blizzards and hailstorms, wildfires and the impact of climate change.ROBIN: It’s a look at the science behind natural disasters, including volcanoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, cyclones and tornadoes. We look at why these things happen, what the impacts are and what to do if you have the misfortune to get caught in one! ROBIN: I think it’s very important to teach children to respect our planet, and having a sense of the power of nature could be a good launchpad from which to talk about other environmental issues. Besides, I find that kids are often enthralled by the thought of something even more powerful than grownups! We’ve made some information sheets for teachers to use. Note that these descriptions are based on typical experiences in the game with them, and can be subject to changes at any time.

The format and approach of this book are ideally suited to KS2 topic work. Each section covers the science principles – ie the physics and chemistry behind extreme events; the cultural aspects, for example, myths, stories, and ancient beliefs; and for all topics – fun and powerful examples of the ‘biggest and worst’. Typically the rounds will require 1, 2 and then 3 carnivores with mods against other carnivores with mods. This event consists of 1-5 rounds in which you battle a dinosaur that is exactly the same as yours, each with an increasing rarity of land dino to use. Typically on the last battle you use a hybrid. BOOKTRUST REVIEW: *Book of the Day* Each section of the book describes a different phenomenon, gives the different types - for instance, there are two different types of avalanche, with wet and dry snow - and looks at examples of the biggest and worst ones recorded. It then gives tips for safety and survival. A lot of the time, it's not easy to be prepared for something like a tsunami, which comes out of nowhere and is hard to predict, but it is at least good to know what one could do in that situation. Featuring clear information about a comprehensive range of events such as tsunamis, avalanches, earthquakes and volcanoes (grouped under geological disasters), and tornadoes, blizzards, wildfires and tropical cyclones (meteorological disasters), this colourful and fascinating guide is a real eye-opener.Sophie, I wondered how involved you were in the actual design and layout of the book? Do you pass your illustrations on to a team who then decide on where they’re placed, for example? Today we talk to Sophie Williams and Robin Jacobs about volcanoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, and how they worked together to create their brand-new, engaging geography book EARTH-SHATTERING EVENTS, which manages to be accessible, fun and informative!

SOPHIE: It’s a book that will tell you everything you need to know about natural disasters. Each section guides the reader through a different disaster, explaining the details, variations and what do to in the worst case scenario. The information is laid out in a fun and easy to understand way, making this heavy subject matter accessible for all ages! This British publication retains British spellings, ex. "centre", which does not pose a problem. Confusion could arise by retaining metric measurements in the book, ex. Japan moved "2.4 m" after the 2011 Tōhoku Tsunami will likely be read by American students as 2.4 miles and not 2.4 meters (or 8 feet). Tornado wind measurement is done in kmh - reading much higher than U.S. mph. Interestingly enough, the chart measuring storm surge is given in feet, not meters. If you like this book you might also like Natural Disasters through Infographics (Super Science Infographics) by Rebecca Rowell, Natural Disasters: Investigate Earth’s Most Destructive Forces with 25 Projects (Build It Yourself) by Kathleen M Reilly and Tom Casteel, The Great Fire of London: Anniversary Edition of the Great Fire of 1666 by Emma Adams and James Weston Lewis, Alastair Humphreys’ Great Adventurers by Alastair Humphreys and Kevin Ward Incredible Journeys: Discovery, Adventure, Danger, Endurance by Levison Wood and Sam Brewster. Complete 1-3 battles in which you have to defeat 7 or 9 opponents in each. The opponents will start off very weak and get stronger to the end. Battle specific to a rarity type, such as common, rare, super rare or Legendary. Reward is a prize wheel.From a Caldecott and Sibert honoree, an invitation to take a mind-expanding journey from the surface of our planet to the furthest reaches of the observable cosmos.

This children’s book is ideal for: extended home learning projects and wider reading for children aged 7-12. Is this an area of the natural world that has always interested you? What sort of research did you carry out while writing the book? The rounds will require your Herbivore against theirs, then your Carnivore against theirs, your Amphibian against theirs and the same with Pterosaurs, on the last battle you use a team against their team of 3.Each section explores what each phenomenon is, the causes and the related scientific and geographical facts. Then what to do to keep oneself safe in each particular scenario is included as a step-by-step guide to having the biggest chance of surviving the event.
