An irresistible romp through the history of magic, from alchemy to unicorns, ancient witchcraft to Harry's Hogwarts - packed with unseen sketches and manuscript pages from J.K. Rowling, magical illustrations from Jim Kay and weird, wonderful and inspiring artefacts that have been magically released from the archives at
the British Library.
This spellbinding book takes readers on a journey through the Hogwarts curriculum, including Herbology, Defence Against the Dark Arts, Astronomy, Divination and more. Discover the truth behind making the Philosopher's Stone, create your very own potion and uncover the secret of invisible ink. Learn all about the history of mandrake roots and dragons, discover what witches really used their brooms for, pore over incredible images of actual mermaids and read about real-life potions, astronomers and alchemists. The perfect gift for aspiring witches and wizards and any Harry Potter fan.
Celebrating twenty years of Harry Potter magic, and produced in association with the British Library to support their major exhibition, Harry Potter: A History of Magic.
"Welcome to the library... A room packed with stories from ceiling
to floor, Shelves of adventures for you to explore. But each book
has two stories -- the tale the words tell, And the tale of the
journey it's been on as well." This is the story of one incredible
library book and all the children who've borrowed it. It's been
hugged, lost, torn, chewed by a dog and soaked in the rain. It's
been read in apartments and in tents, in the park and in the
classroom; by children in costumes and pyjamas, reading alone or
with their friends, their siblings and their parents. Each time it
returns to the library it's a little more worn, but a lot more
loved. For every rip, scribble or stain there's a child who has
found adventure or escape, comfort or excitement in its pages.
That's the magic of a library book! This fun, rhyming text from
Caroline Crowe celebrates a love of books and libraries, the joy of
discovering a new favourite read, and of sharing it with others.
New York Times-bestseller John Joseph's bright and joyful
illustrations bring a diverse cast of children to life with humour
and enthusiasm.

A book on sustainable living, inspired by The Sustainable Development Goals (formulated by the United Nations). Small Steps, Big Change explores small, everyday goals kids can aim for to engender positive change in our world. With a simple, upbeat language that children will understand, and illustrated in a bold and quirky style by James Jones (One More Try, The Perfect Fit), this is the ideal guide to inspire children to help build a better tomorrow. From making puppets out of old socks, to spreading kindness and protecting our oceans, kids will love getting involved in all the ways we can make a difference to the world. Just like other books about climate change and environmentalism for kids such as Thank You, Earth by April Pulley Sayre, What a Waste by Jess French and Somebody Swallowed Stanley by Sarah Roberts and Hannah Peck, Small Steps, Big Change is the perfect handbook for changing the world one small step at a time.
