and there are no (road) rules. Vroom! Bright, joyful artwork by
Brandon Dorman is packed with fun details that make If Kids Could

An enchanting and magical story of kindness, from the highly
regarded creator of Blue Kangaroo. When Bella opens her front door
and finds an other-wordly, little stranger on the doorstep, her
life changes forever! Cold, hungry and lost, the only word the
stranger can say is 'Toot!', so Bella and her children, name him
Mister Toots, before giving him something to eat and a comfy bed.
Soon Mister Toots becomes a much-loved member of the family and
neighbourhood. But one terrible day, he disappears into the sky...
Will anyone ever see him again? Beautifully illustrated, this
poignant, moving story about the power of kindness and compassion,
and accepting and welcoming others, will touch the hearts of adults
and children alike.

world, plus hard-working ships such as icebreakers and fireboats.

how a boat floats. Filled with hundreds of different boats, ships,
subs, and other wonderful watercraft, even the most avid young boat
fanatic will discover new vessels they haven't seen before!
What do you see when you look up at the sky? It may seem like a
big, empty space, but it's busier than you think. From clouds and
stars, to birds, planes and everything in between - there's a whole
sky to explore. Skygazing is a double-sided book full of incredible
cross-curricular information, fun activities, and beautiful
illustrated scenes to enjoy. Discover why the sky is blue, early
experiments in flight, and how helicopters stay aloft, before
flipping the book to read all about the night sky. Find out how to
read the stars, spot the night's flying creatures and see the
colours of the aurora borealis.
"It will . . . sweep readers away." --Kirkus Reviews "Henry's lush,
digital artwork depicts the splendors of eighteenth-century France
. . . a good addition to units on aviation and inventors."
--Booklist More than a century before the Wright Brothers invented
their plane, Josephand Etienne Montgolfier sent a flying machine
into the skies--a hot-air balloon with three animals in the basket.
Go up, up, and away with them on their first, magical journey! Back
in 1782, in Ardeche, France, lived Joseph Montgolfier, a dreamer
and an inventor who liked to learn about how everything worked.
When one day a gust of wind blew his papers into the fireplace, he
noticed that something lifted the pieces into the air--and he
realized that heat could make things rise. With the help of his
brother, Etienne, he began to experiment . . . and created a new
kind of flying machine: a hot-air balloon! This beautifully
illustrated picture book tells the story of how the balloon came to
be, King Louis XVI's visit to see it fly, and the three animals--a
rooster, a duck, and a sheep--who became its very first passengers.
Created by David E. Klutho, the noted photographer who brought you
3D Sports Blast and Zoo 3D, this new book is filled with every kind
of vehicle - photographed with the latest eye-popping 3D
technology. You can get up close to everything on wheels, from
Monster Trucks to fun miniature models, roaring motorcycles to
muddied BMX bikes. With vehicles accelerating off the page, this is
a must-have book for any kid who loves sweet rides.
