How many of the more common birds of southern African can you identify from their calls?

Birdsong is everywhere, whether we live in the city or in the country. Without the musical backdrop of our feathered friends, our gardens, parks and fields would be relatively silent – and much the poorer for it. Often we hear their calls, but cannot see the birds making them.

  • The enclosed CD features 60 common bird calls.

  • The book features full-colour photographs of the birds, distribution maps and interesting text about their habits, feeding and nesting routines, and their calls.
Invaluable for birders of all ages, this CD and book will open up a new world of bird recognition and behaviour, and perhaps be the start of an abiding interest in these most tuneful of our fellow inhabitants.

Shrink to the size of a garden bug and enter the world of ladybirds in this first graphic novel for children.

This graphic novel of garden life, made in collaboration with the Royal Entomological Society, is a perfect introduction to ladybirds for bug-obsessed little ones aged 5-7.

Follow a newly hatched ladybird as she learns the ins and outs of ladybirdhood, and meet plenty of fascinating bug characters along the way, in this first graphic novel. Narrated by a wise old grasshopper, offering tips and tricks on how to be a ladybird, children will love to follow the story of Dotty the larva.

This bug book for children offers:

  • A graphic novel format to engage children in non-fiction topics.
  • Content made in partnership with the Royal Entomological Society providing scientific information about insects.
  • An engaging story about a newly hatched larva, Dotty, as she learns how to navigate life as a ladybird.

    Our tale begins with a cluster of tiny eggs resting peacefully on a leaf - but life for a ladybird larva is far from peaceful. There are dastardly harlequins to contend with and giant predators in the form of birds. Not to mention the confusing fact that our leading larva doesn’t look anything like a ladybird at all! With transformations to look forward to - including gaining a pair of wings - and plenty of friendly bugs to meet, our heroine will soon learn that life in the garden isn’t all bad.
