Why are trees so important? How many types are there? How do they benefit the environment and wildlife? This book, by the award-winning author Piotr Socha, answers these questions and more, tracking the history of trees from the time of the dinosaurs to the current day.
In graphic novel format, text and illustrations explain how earthquakes happen, how their strength is measured, and how to stay safe during one.
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.

"Weird and Wonderful" is a series of four books on the most amazing creatures and features of the natural world. The books are produced in collaboration with The Natural History Museum in London. Unlike many natural history books, these combine both living creatures and the Earth itself, in an original and dynamic approach that focuses on their amazing characteristics. On every spread, photographs taken especially for these books display the wonders of the natural world. Woven around them is an expert, lively text. "Zooming and Creeping" looks at the fastest - and the slowest - on land, sea and in the air, and asks why speed or sloth can be an advantage in the natural world.
