Gorgeous debut picture book based on the award-winning CBeebies
preschool series Tee and Mo! This is a brand-new story based on one
of the CBeebies favourite Tee and Mo songs by Lauren Laverne about
the special relationship between Tee, a three-year-old monkey and
his single working mum, Mo, and their life in the jungle. Tee and
Mo sometimes want to do different things . . . but they always end
up having lots of fun together! Today is picnic day and Tee and Mo
can't wait to set off . . . but are they really ready to go? A
charming picture book about that moment we've all experienced when
you are just about to rush out the door and you suddenly remember
you have forgotten something. Also features the song lyrics and a
QR code to play the song!
Perfect for ages 8 to 80!

Explore the Arctic Ocean in this beautifully illustrated children's
book for readers aged 9+ Perched at the northernmost tip of the
world, the icy Arctic Ocean is the smallest of Earth's oceans. Its
temperature rarely reaches above freezing and it is dotted with
thick pack ice and craggy icebergs. The people and animals that
live in this polar climate have uniquely adapted to make it their
home. But this precious habitat is at risk from our warming
climate, as well as pollution and industry. The oceans make up
Earth's biggest habitat. More than 70 per cent of Earth's surface
is covered by oceans and seas and they hold more than 97 per cent
of Earth's water supply. Oceans drive the world's weather, provide
half of the oxygen we breathe and provide food and livelihoods for
more than a billion people. Blue Worlds explores each of the
world's five oceans and major seas in detail, looking at the
different features - from wildlife and weather to landscape - that
make them all individual and unique. It also looks at the threats
that they face, such as global warming, overfishing and pollution.

the development of the subject, and raising standards.
Each volume in the series conforms to a concise style, while
providing a wealth of tips, case studies, and material that
teachers can use immediately. Written to meet the needs of subject

Meet Maud: a guinea pig who inexplicably wears a judo suit - and
not everyone understands or approves. When Maud is thrown into a
new and confusing situation, it takes brave decisions and
serendipitous encounters for her to find her place and embrace her
individuality. The charming characters of Magenta Fox, whose work
is evocative of Raymond Briggs and Janet Ahlberg, perfectly offset
Zadie and Nick's warm, wry prose. Weirdo is an endearing story
about the quiet power of being different by two veteran writers,
and introduces an exciting debut illustrator. Together they have
created a picture book that adults and children alike will
treasure.
Unearth the treasures from the prehistoric world beneath your feet.
From glittering ammonites to razor-sharp dinosaur claws and
delicate leaf impressions, uncover our world's primeval past
through the incredible fossils left behind. Arranged into plants
and animals, there are profiles of 50 key fossils, including
well-loved favourites, such as Triceratops, and more curious
remains, such as fossil fish teeth. Learn all about how fossils
form, where they are found, and how ancient animals are
reconstructed. Filled with facts and containing recently discovered
species, this book will help even the biggest fossil fans learn
something new. Stunning photographs can be studied in detail, while
pronunciation guides help with tricky names, and a visual index
provides a quick overview of all the key species in the book. My
Book of Fossils is an engrossing children's book about fossils and
dinosaurs, and is sure to be a hit with fact-obsessed young
enthusiasts of all things prehistoric.

The ocean covers almost three-quarters of the Earth, but how deep
does it go? Put on your scuba gear and explore the ocean, from its
shallowest waters to its deepest, most mysterious parts. As you
dive deeper, you'll discover glowing animals, strange creatures
that don't need sunlight to survive, and even the largest hunter in
the world. With beautiful illustrations and engaging text, How Deep
Is the Ocean? will guide young readers into the deepest parts of
the ocean. Featuring a find-out-more section with a water-pressure
experiment, a lesson in making a sounding line to learn how
scientists measure the depth of the ocean, a glossary of new terms,
and web research prompts, this book will begin children's
explorations of the deep sea. Both the text and the artwork were
vetted for accuracy by Dr. David Gruber, real-life deep sea
explorer and professor of biology and environmental science at
Baruch College. This is a Level 2 Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science
title, which means the book explores more challenging concepts for
children in the primary grades and supports the Common Core
Learning Standards, Next Generation Science Standards, and the
Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) standards.
Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science is the winner of the American
Association for the Advancement of Science/Subaru Science Books
& Films Prize for Outstanding Science Series.
