Evolution as you've never seen it before! An incredible pick-your-own-path adventure through the story of life on Earth.
Think of an animal, any animal at all. It could be a shark, a squid, a snail, or even a human like you! Every single animal has a secret history. A death-defying adventure that has happened across millions of years, called evolution.
On every page, you will discover a new animal with its own exciting story to tell. It's up to YOU to make the decisions that will lead to their next evolutionary step. Can you survive to the present-day or will you face extinction along the way? Will you grow a backbone, take to the skies, or dive deeper for your dinner? For the first time ever, the journey is in your hands . . .
This unique book features ferociously funny and brilliantly accessible science from zoologist, author and TV presenter Jules Howard. Meet chimpanzees and chickens, Tyrannosaurus rexes and tigers, with over 50 different animal endings to discover.
The perfect introduction to the awe-inspiring story of life on Earth.
From the authors behind The Stick Book and many other outdoor
adventure favourites, this interactive one-of-a-kind creative
scrapbook offers children an outlet for creativity inspired by the
wild world. This truly unique book contains prompts for all kinds
of creative activity based around the natural world around us, from
drawing to writing to mixed-media collage. Readers will be
encouraged to draw on their creativity, to express themselves
without fear of being judged, and to make their book really WILD!
They will need scissors, pens, paints, tape, glue and a magnifying
glass, plus lots of wild materials and their wildest creativity, as
this book becomes filled with keepsakes from their own outdoor
adventures. From finding the faces hidden in pictures of trees, to
collecting ingredients for a spell to keep nature safe, to sticking
the feathers back onto a mythical bird, these prompts and
activities will provide hours and hours of entertainment as they
take children on flights of fantasy through the natural world.
Readers can colour outside the lines, do the activities in any
order and go at their own pace. The mixture of art, creative
writing, collecting, games, wildlife-watching and imaginative
prompts will appeal to kids with all kinds of interests, and there
are no rules!
Smart Cards are books for smart kids who want to know even more.
Each book, crammed with facts, features and fun, comes with its own
Smart Card - a cool, sculpted CD which will work with nearly all
PCs and Macs to provide tons of extra information, games and
entertainment. Ages 7+.
The World's Most Pointless Animals is a witty, quirky, colourfully
illustrated book featuring fascinating facts about some very silly
animals ... who we find are perhaps not so pointless after all.
From familiar animals like giraffes (who don't have any vocal
cords) through to those that surely should not even exist, such as
the pink fairy armadillo (absurdly huge front claws, super tough
protective shell in baby pink, particularly susceptible to stress),
our planet is full of some pretty weird and wonderful animals. For
example: Koalas spend up to 18 hours a day asleep! Pandas are born
bright pink, deaf and blind. Dumbo octopuses flap their big
fin-like ears to move around. A Narwhal's tusk grows through its
upper lip - ouch! With hilarious text throughout and bright,
contemporary illustrations, this guide to absurdly awesome animals
contains funny labelled diagrams and some excellent made-up Latin
names (n.b. the jellyfish's scientific name is not actually
wibblious wobblious ouchii). Carrying an important message of
celebrating diversity and differences, The World's Most Pointless
Animals inspires a drive to conserve our amazing planet and the
creatures we're lucky enough to share it with. Quirky Creatures is
a series dedicated to seeking out the weird and wonderful denizens
of the natural world and explaining why they are so strange, from
the ridiculous to the truly terrifying. Also available in this
series is The World's Most Ridiculous Animals and The World's Most
Atrocious Animals.
