What secrets lie deep within the Earth? Where was the largest diamond found? Which rock is the oldest of all? What was oil used for in ancient Babylon? Is it possible to catch "gold fever"? To answer these questions, Chevostik and Uncle Kuzya set off for mineral deposits.
In this new encyclopedia featuring the beloved character Chevostik, children will meet ancient metallurgists, famous geologists, and jewelers, see underwater volcanoes, a diamond mine, and a salt lake, and learn what famous monuments are made of—such as the Mausoleum by the walls of the Moscow Kremlin and the Alexander Column in St. Petersburg. Then, under adult supervision, they can conduct several experiments in the kitchen: for example, grow a crystal or trigger a volcanic eruption!
Chevostik is a charming character from a well-known audio project. Today, children know him through these encyclopedias. The series continues to release books that explain how the world works to children.
Children perceive information much better when a fictional character tells them about the world. That is exactly why boys and girls love encyclopedias like these.
