A highly original non-fiction guide on waste and the environment
for a young audience. Your Planet Needs You! is packed with simple
and entertaining ways that kids and their families can reduce,
re-use, recycle, renew and REALLY GET INVOLVED in cleaning up our
planet. Nobody really likes to think about rubbish (pee-ew!). But
whether you know it or not, waste is part of everyone’s lives.
Each year, a single person can create up to a tonne of waste.
That’s the equivalent weight of a small hippo! Where does waste
come from? Where does it end up? And what can we do to help our
planet? Renowned picture book creator Philip Bunting answers all
these questions and more in this entertaining and enlightening look
at how to wallop waste and reduce rubbish. Learn how to start a
compost bin, or how to use an old egg carton to sprout your very
own seedlings. Get tips on cool things you can do with empty tin
cans or an old pair of socks, and discover how long different
things take to decompose – from an apple core to a gumboot to a
plastic bag. With a positive outlook and a generous dollop of
humour, Your Planet Needs You! shows that taking care of our
environment can be both fun and rewarding. You can be the change!
Your planet needs you! For ages 4 and up.
Help your child to become not just a good pet owner, but the best
guinea pig owner. This book shows how the right environment and
care for a pet helps their body and their mind. Just like humans,
guinea pigs can get bored. Did you know that they need a rich
environment to stimulate their brains? The right enclosure not only
keeps them safe, it can reduce stress and help them to live longer.
And did you know that guinea pigs need other guinea pigs? These
popular rodents get lonely when they live alone - which isn't good
for their mental health. Unlike other pet care guides, the Happy
Pet Friends series puts your pet's physical and mental health and
wellbeing first. These books are packed with tips to make your
pet's life happier and healthier, which is great for them, and good
for young pet owners and any child with an interest in animal
welfare, too. Fostering a lifelong commitment to taking care of the
creatures who share our world should start young, and this series
is perfect for animal-lovers aged 7 and up. Title in the Happy Pet
Friends series: Cats Dogs Fish Guinea Pigs Hamsters Rabbits
What did the Earth look like 300 million years ago? Here's a chance
to travel back through time and discover the days when the Earth
was a very different place. In this cleverly designed book, lifting
the tracing paper pages is like peeling back the layers of history,
allowing readers to compare animals living in prehistoric
landscapes with the fossils they left behind. The changing face of
our planet comes to life, while the science behind the Earth's
geology and climate is clearly explained. Packed with fascinating
illustrations, this is a wonderful way to understand the story of
evolution, from the earliest single-cell lifeforms to the mighty
dinosaurs and onwards to the first human beings. Winner of a
Non-Fiction Special Mention, Bologna Ragazzi Awards 2021
