Description

A funny and fascinating look at states of matter and where things go - from fumes to burps - in the world around us!

Explore the solid matter all around us and the journey they take from the food we eat and the objects in your home to what poo is and the many other forms of waste humans produce. Understand how the waste we produce is having an impact on the planet's resources and its health and what is being done to create less waste and reuse the resources we already have. From the journey poo takes to be filtered out of water and treated to landfills and recycling plants , this book takes you on a funny whirlwind journey through this essential state of matter and how they affect the environment.

Where Does it Go? is a humorous science series aimed at 7-9 year olds about states of matter explored through the world around us - how they feature in our daily lives (including in our body) and where they end up!

The fully colour illustrated spreads cover a wide range of fun and unusual facts which put the familiar and unseen things around us into context as we discover the journeys they make.

Kyle Beckett (Illustrator)

In the third grade, Kyle sold a drawing of a bluebird wearing sunglasses at lunch. His payment? One chocolate chip cookie! From that first commission on, he knew he wanted to be an illustrator. It wasn't until much later (he had almost finished eating his cookie) that he decided to be a writer, too. Growing up in Rockford, Illinois, he started putting drawings and words on every piece of paper he could find, and maybe even a wall or two. It's been a long time since third grade, but not much has changed about Kyle. He still writes and draws stories for anyone who likes the quirky, the strange and the not-so-serious.
