Originally appearing as part of our children's book "The Florida
Water Story, " this booklet introduces kids to the staggering
abundance and variety of sea creatures that live in the waters
surrounding Florida.
This special book asks children a simple question: How Can We Be
Kind? The answer is: by learning from the animal kingdom! Animals
demonstrate kindness and empathy towards each other, and care and
compassion can be seen all throughout the natural world. This book
shows children the ways they can be kind just like animalsare to
each other, while at the same time teaching them about the magic
and the beauty of the natural world. They can learn to be welcoming
like capybaras, who let other animals sit on top of them while they
wallow in mud. Or perhaps they might want to be like dolphins, who
guide other species to their destinations. Or maybe they would like
to work together like ants and bees, share what they have like
jackdaws or stick up for their friends like zebras. With beautiful
illustrations from Darla Okada, this beautiful picture book will
enchant and entertain children time and time again. There are facts
at the back about how each animal lives with and looks after its
fellow creatures. This sweet and thoughtful book is both a
celebration of the animal world and a manifesto for being kind in
everyday life.

UNDER THE SEA is a lively introduction to life beneath the waves, where children can lift the flaps to learn about an under water world. Young readers will be amazed as they find out what beautiful creatures can be discovered amongst a coral reef or shipwreck, why fish look so different deep down, which ways predators hunt their food, and much, much more. This book features over 30 sturdy flaps to lift, along with charming, child-friendly artwork that introduces new concepts and vocabulary in a simple and accessible way.
This charming concertina book follows the journey of a little
submersible on a voyage beneath the waves, down into the deep dark
ocean and back again. Folding out to nearly 2.5 metres, children
can look at all the different things the sub sees on its way, as it
travels past a shipwreck, through a coral reef, near to a pod of
orcas hunting for their lunch, close to a leatherback turtle
feasting on jellyfish, and past some rather strange deep-sea fish.
Playful text guides the journey, providing a fun shared experience
and a conversation starter for parents and young children. The
reverse side of the concertina features spot illustrations picked
out from the main scene, with more expansive information about
submarines, ocean life and the dangers it is facing.

magnificent magpie, taking in such favourites as the robin, the
wren, the sparrowhawk and the colourful starling. This information
book for young children is packed with information and fun facts -
everything you need to know to help you learn about and identify
birds. With key facts about size, habitat, diet and population,
there are detailed descriptions of each bird and tips to help you

Alligators and crocodiles are strong enough to bite through bone, but did you know that they can’t chew their food? Readers will love learning about what makes alligators and crocodiles “super,” as well as how to tell the two animals apart. The backmatter discusses the conservation success story of the previously endangered American alligator.
While looking at my grand-daughter's books with her it occurred to
me that here, at three years old, she can identify images which
bear little resemblance to the actual creatures portrayed: whale,
giraffe, ostrich, etc. At the zoo she recognizes the elephant,
tiger, giraffe, etc. Why, I wondered, do children's books have such
simplified renderings of animals? She may not be able to read the
names, but she knows a giraffe is a giraffe. Her father is an avid
birder and can barely wait to take her birding, so why not an
alphabet book with realistic pictures of birds? Thus, "The A to Z
Book of Birds: An ABC for Young Bird Lovers" - she will know her
birds before she knows her alphabet. I'm sure my grand-daughter is
not the only three-year-old genius out there. This book is designed
to be useful from age three to well beyond learning the alphabet,
when the text, informative and entertaining, will continue to teach
and the paintings a guide to identification in the field.
