This hilarious book answers all the big questions, like: do sausage dogs eat sausages? Why has my cat done a poo behind my wardrobe? And how can I persuade my parents to get me a pet? For real-life pet facts, imaginary stories, and a generally laugh-so-hard-snot-comes-out-your-nose read, this is the only pet book you'll ever need!

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.
"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.
From armadillos, flamingos and umbrella birds to quokkas and
iguanas, Elli Woollard presents a lovely collection of poems for
younger children about pets which are just a little bit peculiar...
Filled with fun rhymes, quirky black-and-white illustrations and
exotic animals, this book is perfect for reading aloud. Some poems
are hilarious, some are gruesome and some will make you want to
wash your hair, but there's sure to be a pet poem here for every
child and adult alike.
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.
