This is a coral reef. A living, limestone necklace beneath the sea,
built over thousands of years by billions of tiny creatures.
Discover incredible facts about the wide variety of creatures that
live in and around the coral reef. Travelling through the seasons,
we meet great white sharks, bright greenthroat parrotfish, graceful
green turtles and more amazing animals as they hunt for food and
play. See the stripy clown fish fiercely guarding his babies, and
the eel spitting out a spiky porcupinefish. Beautiful descriptions
of unique sea life are further animated by colourful illustrations
that will leave children and adults poring over the pages of this
book. With lyrical text by Jane Burnard combining with Kendra
Binney's evocative illustrations to show readers the magical beauty
of the coral reef, this is a story sure to inspire wonder in the
natural world.
From where they are located to the various animals that live there,
early readers discover the lush forests of the world in this
inviting nonfiction reader that features vivid, brilliant images in
conjunction with informational text and intriguing facts about this
amazing ecosystem.
Discover over a hundred animals from all over the world - mammals,
reptiles, birds, some exotic, others more familiar. You will find
them classified by habitat, from polar regions to the savannah,
from mountain peaks to urban jungles. Every animal is precisely
identified by their common name and scientific name, and succinctly
described with a fun fact. It is perfect for exploring the
creatures great and small that make up the animal kingdom and how
they are classified by the naturalists that study them. The
Illustrated Compendiums' beautiful illustrations recall the style
used by naturalists and explorers such as Charles Darwin and John
James Audubon. Children aged 7 and up will enjoy dipping in and out
of these books, inspired by the fascinating illustrations and
facts.
If you could talk to animals, what would you ask?
'What are your top tips for catching prey, Tiger?'
'How do you help yourself to honey, Honey Badger?'
'Why do you howl, Wolf?
Get familiar with 10 fierce and furry beasts as they step up to the mic
and share their habits, behaviour, likes and dislikes, favourite foods,
and more. Each animal has its own story to tell... and its own attitude!
In this fun and fact-filled book, bite-sized text in a
question-and-answer format is paired with colourful and engaging
illustrations throughout, perfect for emerging or reluctant readers, or
any young animal enthusiast who enjoys a bit of humour!
Features 'interviews' with a tiger, wolf, honey badger, giant
armadillo, lion, jaguar, giant anteater, snow leopard, polar bear, and
three-toed sloth. Plus, ideas for how to do your bit to help endangered
species and their habitats.
Each RSPB spotter's guide comprises 35 common garden creatures for
beginner naturalists. Through beautiful full-page illustration
accompanied by key information about each creature, books are
designed to encourage young children's interest in the outside
world and the wildlife around them. A spotter's chart for children
to fill in, and links to Internet-based activities in each book,
mean that children can extend the fun.
