Rewilding means returning animals or plants to places where they
used to live. This book, kids will find out about awe-inspiring
rewilding projects, including the wolves that returned to
Yellowstone National Park and dramatically improved the ecosystem,
and the beavers reintroduced to their old territories to build dams
to stop them flooding. In these heartwarming true stories children
will learn how different species evolved to live side by side, and
will see what it takes to be a conservation scientist. They might
even be inspired to become a wildlife activist themselves! By the
end of the book they will be life with a key message: it's not too
late to fix the planet.

A beautifully illustrated narrative non-fiction picture book that
imagines the consequences of a world without sharks A healthy ocean
is home to many different kinds of animals. They can be big, like a
whale, tiny, like a shrimp, and even scary, like a shark. Even
though sharks can be scary, we need them to keep the oceans
healthy. Unfortunately, due to overfishing, many shark species are
in danger of extinction, and that can cause big problems in the
oceans and even on land. What would happen if this continued and
sharks disappeared completely? Artist Lily Williams explores how
the disappearance would affect other animals across the whole
planet in this clever book about the importance of keeping sharks,
and our oceans, healthy. Perfect for children aged 5 and up, this
book is a great introduction to the food chain and some of the
dangers facing our planet.
Being tiny is tough! You can't reach the highest shelf where the
cookie jar sits, and the big kids always steal your lunchtime
snacks. Don't get me started on going to theme parks, you can never
get on the rides and you're always told to have an adult present
for everything you do. But what if I told you that being small
didn't suck at all? But was in fact really, really cool. Focus your
eyes on the world of micro animals and learn what it's like to be
so small. Discover how these tiny creatures stay safe, or hunt for
their lunch. Zoom in on their superpowers, like having the ability
to shoot microscopic darts, spring-loaded jumps which take them to
incredible heights or the amazing ways in which tiny hunters defend
themselves from much bigger creatures. Maybe it's not so tough to
be tiny after all!
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.
