A pop-up book of jungle habitats, bursting with character, humour and detail.
Vibrantly illustrated by Mariana Ruiz Johnson, this enchanting pop-up book takes a peek inside six different jungle habitats. Little ones will love lifting the flaps and opening the gatefolds to make each scene come to life. With short, accessible text and lots to spot on every page, these playful scenes are just the thing to help very young readers understand animal habitats and behaviour.
Find out the fascinating stories of ten real-life dragons, the
myths and legends surrounding them, their discoveries and how they
survive today. For centuries, dragons have captured our
imaginations, guarding troves of treasure and breathing out fire.
They appear in many myths and legends from around the world, some
soaring through the air on scaly wings; some lurking in caves
underground and some diving the depths of the seas and oceans.
While there is, sadly, no such thing as a fire-breathing dragon,
there are still dragons alive today in the animal kingdom. One of
them can even fly. This book brings together the stories of ten
real-life dragons, with fascinating facts mixed with some folklore.
There are also tales of how these extraordinary creatures were
discovered and about their adaptations for surviving in the wild.
Are you ready for the wildlife safari of a lifetime? This
high-interest approach to the natural world shows the diversity of
nature, evolution and adaptation and can be used to support the
science curriculum study of living things at key stage two.
Full-colour photographs combined with illustrations make this a
beautiful and fascinating introduction to real-life dragons around
the world.
Lonely Planet Kids' How Animals Build is a beautifully illustrated
lift-the-flap hardback that explores the incredible world of animal
architects. Children can open flaps and unfold spreads to discover
amazing animal homes up high, underground, on land, and under the
sea. From spider webs and rabbit warrens, to bird nests and ant
colonies, and even coral reefs and beaver lodges, we reveal the
secrets to these extraordinary structures and how they're built. Do
bees need cement mixers to build hives? Do beavers use cranes to
construct dams? No, of course not! Like many animals, they're
building geniuses who don't need building site tools to create
incredible work. Welcome to nature's very own, super-clever world
of construction. Created in consultation with Michael Leach,
wildlife expert, speaker, photographer, filmographer, and author of
over 20 books on subjects ranging from big cats and owls to great
apes and bears. Themed topics include: Apartment Block with
Branches Dig, Diggers, Dig! Number 1 Bunny Street A Winning Design
It's Buzzing in Here! Nest Neighborhoods This Way to Waterworld
Extreme Builders Mouse House Here About Lonely Planet Kids: Come

planet. Every book draws on our huge team of global experts to help

With over 30 fun, easy to follow and rewarding growing projects, foraging activities, experiments and arts and crafts activities, you'll never be bored again!
From growing your own air plants to foraging for edible flowers, gardener, TV presenter and forager Alys Fowler will take you through a range of indoor and outdoor activities that are sure to ignite a lifelong passion for plants! You don't need a garden or any fancy equipment - a homemade pot and watering can, seeds from the kitchen cupboard and a sunny windowsill will do.
With Alys's expert guidance you can grow your own avocado tree, make wildflower seed paper, forage for tasty roots to add to your favourite recipes and even grow neon pink beetroot in the dark! Welcome to the wonderful world of plants - what will you discover?
Earthwise is full of practical ideas for nature crafts and seasonal
activities to encourage young children to be aware of their
environment. The activities are carefully written and beautifully
illustrated, and will encourage children to develop a respect for
nature, the earth and all living creatures. Children will learn
about their dependence on the earth's produce (by taking stalks of
wheat and turning them into bread-flour); how to create and not
just consume (by making their own gifts); how to make butter and
grow food (even in the city); and how to make outdoor playhouses
from natural materials. The book also contains seasonal suggestions
for making a more Earth-friendly home and classroom, and a
comprehensive list of resources and suppliers.
Why is the Brazilian rainforest vanishing so fast? And why is it
essential not only to the people and animals within it, but to the
whole world? Can anything be done to save it? This story, seen
through the eyes of a child called Remaema, describes how the
Yanomami tribe are battling against potential developers. Can a
solution be found that will protect the forest and allow the tribe
to continue living as they always have done, while benefiting from
limited development? This picture book offers an exciting
perspective on a controversial and topical subject.
