This year's Young People's Science Book Prize has been awarded to How the World Works: A Hands-on Guide to Our Amazing Planet. This prestigious prize from the Royal Society – the the UK's academy of scientists – celebrates the best books that communicate science to young people.
How the World Works: A Hands-on Guide to Our Amazing Planet, written by Christiane Dorion and illustrated by Beverley Young, is aimed at children aged 7-12 years old, and is packed with illustrations and paper fold-outs to boost interactive learning. It offers an exciting way to learn science and encourages children to think about the impact of human actions on our environment.
The Guardian, a UK newspaper, is running a competition where you can win a free copy of the book. The closing date is 19 December 2011. Visit the site for more information.
