Did you know that jellyfish have no brain, heart or blood? Or that
there's an animal called a sea potato? Come rain or shine there is
always something interesting to spot at the seaside! Grab this
handy nature guide and head to the beach to explore the wonders of
the seashore. Nature Guide Seashore is jam-packed with facts -
you'll learn that seaweed is used to make ice cream, and that grey
seals can eat 10kg of fish a day (that's about the weight of two
bowling balls!). From bright-beaked puffins and sunbathing seals to
slippery seaweed and limpets clinging to rocks, there are over 200
different animals, plants and other wildlife to discover in this
spotter's guide. Discover how to be a wildlife detective, what
animals you might find when you go rock pooling and tips on how to
look after our coastline. Includes easy to look up fact boxes, a
checklist to tick off everything you spot and activities such as
making sand art. What will you spot? Full of charming and life-like
illustrations by Kate McLelland, RSPB Nature Guide: Seashore is the
perfect contemporary spotter's guide for young wildlife watchers.
Published in collaboration with the RSPB, the largest wildlife
conservation charity in Europe. This is the fourth book in the RSPB
Nature Guide series, following Birds, Wildlife and Minibeasts.

What is coral? How many types of creatures live on reefs? Why are
some coral reefs turning white? This book has the answers to these
questions and many more, along with photographs, step-by-step
illustrations, simple text and links to websites with video clips
and activities.
A thought-provoking book for children aged 5+ years that explores
biodiversity and opens up key discussions about the environment and
the topical issues highlighted in David Attenborough's documentary
Extinction: The Facts. There are estimated to be around 20
quintillion animals living on Earth, but it's tricky to picture so
many animals! So instead, let's imagine just 100 animals at a time
. . . What does it look like? How are animals divided up? How many
species are still to be discovered? Where in the world can wild
mammals be found? And how 'wild' are they really? What are the most
popular pets? How many species are extinct and how many are in
danger? If there had only ever been 100 animals, then 10 are living
and 90 are extinct! IF THE WORLD WERE 100 ANIMALS opens up
discussions and includes tips on how to protect the world we share
- supporting children in becoming global citizens and promoting
empathy, kindness and self-awareness. If we focus on just 100
animals, it's easier to see the things they have in common, and the
things that make them different. So come and meet the animals in
our wildlife park, and think about the big questions that affect
them, and us!
