The Small and Mighty range is the ultimate pocket-sized collectible
series for young readers who can't get enough of their favourite
topic. The Small and Mighty Book of Deadly Creatures is a treasure
trove of dangerous animal information. Inside, readers will
discover tons of original animal art, plus a wealth of fun and
fascinating creature facts. From tiny insects to powerful polar
bears and sperm whales bigger than a school bus, read about the
dangerous animals that come in all shapes and sizes. With profiles
of the world's most terrifying creatures, this is a book no young
animal lover can afford to be without! The largest four-legged
hunter on Earth today is the polar bear, weighing up to 600 kg.
Standing on its hind legs, a polar bear can rear up 3.5 m tall -
twice the height of an adult human. Many owls have special wing
feathers which muffle the sound of the air rushing over their wings
as they fly. These allow the owl to hunt quietly and stealthily to
grab prey by surprise.
Learn how to move and groove like the animals do with this bright,
fun and silly book aimed at younger readers to engage them in
movement! Scuttle sideways like a crab, leap like a lemur, and
waggle dance like a bumble bee. Meet a collection of animals from
around the world and discover how they move, and why. The book
features a different creature on each spread, along with
step-by-step actions to help the kids move just like the animal.
The perfect book to read aloud one-to-one, or as a fun activity to
engage a group of young children and get them stretching, hopping,
wriggling and jumping!
A humorous exploration of a northern river ecosystem with an
intrepid young boatsman is paired with an extended author's note
about its ecology and key species. Young Ben sets out to explore
the river equipped with a sturdy boat, some sample-collection gear,
and his scientific curiosity. Along the way he meets a black bear
taking a swim, a moose all wobbly and slim, a goose with a gorgeous
grin, and a heron all proper and prim...but things really start
happening after the owl HOOs loudly on a whim. With fresh,
easygoing verse from author Jen Lynn Bailey and art full of
movement and light from illustrator Maggie Zeng, This is the Boat
That Ben Built is a compelling entry point for conversations about
ecology, food webs, and species diversity. Ben's excursion-watched
from the shore by his mother and faithful dog-is an outdoor
adventure pitched perfectly for kids who dream of independence and
exploration, parents who value safety and loving supervision, and
educators who seek engaging fiction enriched with information. The
book concludes with an eight-page Author's Note that spotlights
facts about every animal Ben has met and invites readers to think
like an ecologist about the ways in which they are all connected.

From standout author, Alex Latimer, and bestselling illustrator,
David Litchfield, comes a beautiful picture book about finding -
and holding on to - friendship. One bright afternoon, Pip met Egg.
Pip is a seed from a glorious tree, and Egg is a bird's egg from a
nearby nest. When Pip and Egg first meet, they are almost the same
size and shape - like two peas in a pod. But as their friendship
grows, so do they - for Pip this means growing roots, but for Egg?
Well, Egg grows wings, and she can't wait to use them. Though Pip
wishes he can follow Egg on her adventures, his roots are strong.
So he watches his friend fly away. But true friends always find
their way back to one another, and there are no truer friends than
Pip and Egg. And if there's one thing they learn, it's that the
circle of life will always lead them back to each other. David
