Have you ever wondered why the moon shines in the night-time sky?
As the moon waxes and wanes above, the world below is full of busy
night-time creatures; from turtles laying their eggs on white sandy
beaches, to migrating birds using the moon to navigate their way to
sunnier climes. Turn the peek-through pages to see the moon change
shape as it goes through the lunar cycle.
Told in gentle rhyming verse, this beautiful non-fiction picture
book follows the story of a herd of African elephants as they
journey across the parched savannah in search for a water hole. The
matriarch tells of all the sounds of the savannah, and how the
landscape has changed over the years. Still, she remembers where to
find water, just as her mother did before her. Accompanying
non-fiction pages at the end of the book include information on
African elephants, their family structure and migration patterns,
as well as the challenges of climate change, habitat loss and
illegal poaching, and what we as readers can do to help.
This beautifully illustrated reference book shows 1000 things found
in nature, from familiar bugs and flowers to exotic birds of
paradise and fascinating undersea creatures. Children can pore over
topics such as 'In the jungle', 'Ice and snow' and 'Fossils, rocks
and gems', and discover the wildlife that lives in different
habitats.
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.
Lift the flaps to discover the answers to all kinds of delightful
questions, from whether hibernators get hungry and how honeybees
stay warm, to which animals migrate the furthest and why they don't
need maps.
Nominated for the 2019 Kate Greenaway Medal Why do octopuses have
eight arms? Why do crabs run sideways? Are jellyfish made of jelly?
Yuval Zommer's beautiful new book provides the answers to these and
many more fishy questions. His wonderfully quirky illustrations
show off all kinds of slippery, shimmery and surprising sea
creatures, including sea turtles, whales, sharks, rays and
seahorses. Chatty, funny and full of amazing facts, it will be
devoured by children eager to find out about the most exciting
creatures from the deep blue.
