If you could have any animal's coat, whose would you choose? What
if you woke up one morning and discovered your body was covered in
an animal's scales, feathers, or fur instead of your own skin? How
would that change your life? What If You Had Animal Scales!? is the
next imaginative book in Sandra Markle's popular What If You Had
series. If you had a chinchilla's fur, you'd never need to worry
about bug spray. If you had a hammerhead shark's scales, you'd be
the fastest swimmer on the team! And if you had a honeybee's coat,
you'd always bring home the biggest haul on Halloween. Discover
what your life would be like if you had these special coats -- and
find out why your skin is just right for you!
In this beautiful search-and-find book, readers are invited to find
a variety of endangered animals within their habitats. Densely
detailed landscapes of a rainforest, coral reef, mountains and
skies are harbouring within them numbats, and snow leopards and
mountain gorillas. Isabella Bunnell's glorious watercolours makes
the job of scouring the images even more fun. At the back of the
book a glossary lends an additional educational element, describing
each species in detail and explaining why they are endangered. In
these urgent times, awareness of the rich bio-diversity of our
planet has never been more vital. This is a great way of getting
children as young as three engaging with environmental issues.
Reviews: Vibrantly illustrated, this is an important book that all

people we need to educate the most--the children who will inherit
the perilous habitats we are leaving behind. -- Kids Book Review

complete gem -- Picturebooks Blogger A beautiful way to introduce
children to the concept of habitats as well as the importance of a
balanced ecosystem. -- School Library Journal

Uncover five nature stories in a single garden. Watch a bug turn
into a ladybird and a honeybee store nectar in her hive as you lift
the double-layer lift flaps in 1... 2... 3! With read-aloud rhyming
texts and first words to see and say, this book reinforces early
language skills.
There are lots of animals at the seaside. Where are they hiding and
what are they doing? In this innovative lift-the-flap book, little
ones can pore over the beautiful collaged pages and explore under
rocks, shells and seaweed to find out interesting facts about
seaside wildlife. This is the perfect introduction to the outdoors.
Describes the varied systems of nest-building used by birds, as
well as some of their unusual habits. The book introduces young
readers to many curiosities, such as the smallest bird in the
world, the hummingbird, and birds which sew up their nests to
protect their young from predators.
Some of the habitats designed by animals to defend themselves,
their families and their society, are absolutely fascinating; many
are well known, but at the same time they are hidden from us and
difficult to interpret. We know that ants and termites build
complicated underground tunnels, that bees in their hives create
precise and impeccable geometric structures, that mammals like
beavers design ingenious and unique solutions to protect the
entrance to their dens, but all these structures hide unexpected
and interesting secrets. By investigating and clearly showing them,
this book explains and highlights, as never before, the genius of
certain animals. The clear and colourful illustrations by Giulia de
Amicis, combined with the scientifically and didactically accurate
texts, suited to young readers, lead us on a unique journey to see
for ourselves the hidden lives of animals.

The adventures of Pooh, Christopher Robin and all their friends in the Hundred Acre Wood are brought to life in this beautiful edition containing E.H. Shepard’s original line illustrations.
Meet the best bear in all the world for the first time in Winnie-the-Pooh, where he gets into a tight place, nearly catches a Woozle and heads off on an ‘expotition’ to the North Pole with the other animals. The adventures continue in The House at Pooh Corner, where Pooh meets the irrepressible Tigger for the first time, learns to play Poohsticks and sets a trap for a Heffalump.
Heart-warming and funny, Milne’s masterpiece reflects the power of a child’s imagination like no other story before or since. The Winnie-the-Pooh stories are timeless children's classics.
