We all call it home, but how much do we really know about our planet?

Some 4.6 billion years ago, Earth was formed from hot gas and dust, and has now settled into forests, deserts and grasslands.

Spinning on its axis around the sun, Earth is home to billions of humans and animals, and is influenced by weather conditions from earthquakes to hurricanes.

And you can find out all about it in the second book in the Disney Wonderful World of Knowledge series.

We launched the series last week by giving away the first book free at newsagents and supermarkets.

In all, there are 24 volumes which will build up to an impressive library called The Wonderful World of Knowledge.

Over the next six months, we will be offering all those who buy The Bath Chronicle a new children's book in the series every week.

In coming weeks you and your child will be able to read about such subjects as the human body, insects and spiders, sport, plants, space, transport and more – and all with the fantastic benefit of having your favourite Disney characters to help steer you through this weekly read.

Pick up your copy of the second book, Planet Earth, for £3.49 by using the coupon on this page at any participating retailer.

It is full of interesting facts about our home planet. Like Susan Dann from the Herschel Museum of Astronomy, in New King Street, you can read all about the third planet from the sun.

Join Mickey Mouse, and friends Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Goofy and Pluto as they explore the landscapes that make up Earth.

Discover how it all started, and how we ended up with the planet we live on today. Did you know that Earth travels at more than 65,000 miles per hour round the sun, or that the biggest hailstone ever recorded weighed 1kg? Find out how volcanos are formed, how many thunderstorms happen around the world every day, and why we have clouds.

Next week you can collect another book in the series, this time concentrating on The Human Body.
