ABOUT

Discover what bugs eat, what rocks are made of, how fossils are formed, and what lives beneath the ocean in this compact nature box set.

Pocket Genius Nature Collection combines four visually striking titles: Bugs, Ocean, Rocks and Minerals and Dinosaurs, in one exquisite slipcase that takes kids aged 8-12 through the fascinating world of all things nature! 

This boxset contains:

Pocket Genius Bugs
An introduction to the fastest, strongest, and most harmful species, profiling more than 200 insects and bugs. Find out what bugs eat, which are poisonous, which live the longest, and which can be found in your own backyard. 

Pocket Genius Ocean
From colossal whales to microscopic plankton, our vast oceans are teeming with a wide range of weird and wonderful plants and animals. This is a clear introduction to our oceans – what they are, what creatures they hold, how they affect climate, and how humans are changing them. 

Pocket Genius Rocks and Minerals
Dig deep beneath the surface and profile nearly 200 types of rocks and minerals from volcanic rocks and granite to sparkling diamonds and explosive sulfur. Find out what each rock is made of, how they are formed and what they are used for and more.

Pocket Genius Dinosaurs
Discover more than 140 prehistoric animals and learn about fossils, skeletons, anatomy, and history as well as species including dinosaurs on land, winged pterosaurs in the sky, and a range of sea monsters in the ocean. 

This nature book set for curious kids offers: 

- Four books providing an engaging introduction to core nature topics: bugs, oceans, rocks and minerals, and dinosaurs.
- Information presented in bite-sized chunks for both avid and reluctant readers aged 8–12, supported by photographs and maps that make it fun to explore each topic.
- Catalog-style pages in each book featuring captions and images to explain and show different topics.

Pocket Genius Nature Collection features catalog entries packed with facts provide at-a-glance information, while locator icons offer immediately recognizable references to aid navigation and understanding, and fact files round off the book with fun facts such as record breakers and timelines. 

Each pocket-size encyclopedia is filled with facts on a collection of subjects and combines a child-friendly layout with engaging photography and bite-size chunks of text that will encourage and inform even the most reluctant readers.

STANDARD, PRIMARY, DM AND VARIANT COVERS

Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.

In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.

The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
