We certainly believed in the groundbreaking and ‘revolutionary’ Mission:Explore book which Can of Worms published this April 1st. But it wonderful to receive such an endorsement for the great work of The Geography Collective and Tom Morgan-Jones’s humourous illustrations. And if you haven’t got a copy yet, you can order by clicking here: Mission:Explore or through your local bookstore on online retailer.

The wonderfully inventive and incorrigibly curious crew at The Geography Collective have launched a new blog to track stories in the media about risk aversion. Our recently published book: Mission:Explore, written by The Geography Collective and illustrated by Tom Morgan-Jones is the purest antidote known to man*(kind) and beast for the cotton wool culture that our children are being enveloped in.

Do please go and take a look at their blog: http://thegeographycollective.wordpress.com/ as well as the book, and please tell your friends.
