Enjoy the early adventures of Winnie-the-Pooh and friends in
Winnie-the-Pooh Once There Was a Bear (the Official Prequel)
Beautiful new paperback edition of Winnie-the-Pooh Once There Was a
Bear. We all have a special place in our hearts for the adventures
of Winnie-the-Pooh told by A.A.Milne in Winnie-the-Pooh and The
House at Pooh Corner. Highly talented author Jane Riordan has
written a wonderful collection of stories in the style of A.A.Milne
that take us back to where it all began, when Winnie-the-Pooh was
first purchased for Christopher Robin in Harrods. Jane Riordan has
a strong pedigree in writing in the style of A.A.Milne, having also
created Winnie-the-Pooh Meets the Queen and the re-issue edition
Winnie-the-Pooh Goes to London. The stories are decorated with
beautiful illustrations by Mark Burgess in the style of
E.H.Shepard. Mark is uniquely suited to this having also
illustrated The Return to the Hundred Acre Wood and The Best Bear
in All the World. The paperback edition of this timeless story
collection is a real tribute to the world's most famous bear and
the perfect opportunity for everyone to find out how these
favourite friends become the larger than life characters we all
love. Do you own all the classic Pooh titles? Winnie-the-Pooh The
House at Pooh Corner When We Were Very Young Now We Are Six Return
to the Hundred Acre Wood The Best Bear in All the World Once There
Was a Bear The nation's favourite teddy bear has been delighting
generations of children for over 95 years. Milne's classic
children's stories - featuring Piglet, Eeyore, Christopher Robin
and, of course, Pooh himself - are gently humorous while teaching
lessons about friendship and kindness. Pooh ranks alongside other
beloved character such as Paddington Bear, and Peter Rabbit as an
essential part of our literary heritage. Whether you're 5 or 55,
Pooh is the bear for all ages.
The World's Most Pointless Animals is a witty, quirky, colourfully
illustrated book featuring fascinating facts about some very silly
animals ... who we find are perhaps not so pointless after all.
From familiar animals like giraffes (who don't have any vocal
cords) through to those that surely should not even exist, such as
the pink fairy armadillo (absurdly huge front claws, super tough
protective shell in baby pink, particularly susceptible to stress),
our planet is full of some pretty weird and wonderful animals. For
example: Koalas spend up to 18 hours a day asleep! Pandas are born
bright pink, deaf and blind. Dumbo octopuses flap their big
fin-like ears to move around. A Narwhal's tusk grows through its
upper lip - ouch! With hilarious text throughout and bright,
contemporary illustrations, this guide to absurdly awesome animals
contains funny labelled diagrams and some excellent made-up Latin
names (n.b. the jellyfish's scientific name is not actually
wibblious wobblious ouchii). Carrying an important message of
celebrating diversity and differences, The World's Most Pointless
Animals inspires a drive to conserve our amazing planet and the
creatures we're lucky enough to share it with. Quirky Creatures is
a series dedicated to seeking out the weird and wonderful denizens
of the natural world and explaining why they are so strange, from
the ridiculous to the truly terrifying. Also available in this
series is The World's Most Ridiculous Animals and The World's Most
Atrocious Animals.
Meet sparring snow leopards, sprinting cheetahs, and slumbering
jaguars in this book about the biggest cats on Earth. Follow pumas
and cheetahs as they roar, hunt, fight, and play their way through
the day. Wildlife expert Tyus D. Williams cleverly weaves the story
in the style of a nature documentary, including gentle science
explanations perfect for future zoologists.
