All living things need water to survive. But what actually IS water? Investigate the fascinating science of water with more than 80 flaps to lift and simple experiments to do at home. Find out how water shapeshifts, where it goes after it falls as rain, and why too much or too little water can wreak havoc on towns and cities.

The activities, puzzles and experiments in this book will show children how people can help the planet. Follow pigeons as they measure air pollution over London. Investigate how far the food in your cupboards actually travels. Look out for wildlife and count all the pollinators that live near you. Come up with a design for your own super green vehicle. Imagine what it would be like if you worked as a marine biologist on a coral reef. Hunt out any energy vampires lurking in your home. And discover the amazing way that plants and soil trap carbon.

From flowers of hedgerow and prairie to desert blooms and rainforest orchids, this book is bursting with beautiful wildflowers from different environments all around the world. Meticulous research has gone into each image, with the help of an expert from Kew Gardens, to ensure that the flowers and settings are portrayed as naturalistically as possible. Use the brush provided to sweep water over the designs and vibrant colours magically appear! A mess-free way to keep children busy, perfect for travel. Simply tuck the waterproof back flap under each page as it's painted, to stop water from seeping through to the rest of the book.
