Why is the Brazilian rainforest vanishing so fast? And why is it
essential not only to the people and animals within it, but to the
whole world? Can anything be done to save it? This story, seen
through the eyes of a child called Remaema, describes how the
Yanomami tribe are battling against potential developers. Can a
solution be found that will protect the forest and allow the tribe
to continue living as they always have done, while benefiting from
limited development? This picture book offers an exciting
perspective on a controversial and topical subject.

Worms ... they're yucky, aren't they? Not according to this
enjoyable new book which reveals just how amazing the wriggly
creatures really are! Worms - fun, fascinating and wriggly worms!
The humble earthworm plays a significant role in the environment,
as all farmers and gardeners know: it aerates the soil, composts
dead matter into rich humus in which seeds can germinate and plants
can grow. Children love them too - especially for their
wriggliness!

Blobfish, pangolin, and flower mantis are just a few of the names
of the bizarre bugs and animals that readers will learn about in
this fascinating nonfiction title. Through vibrant images and
photos, informational text, a glossary of terms, and an index,
readers will learn some of the strange ways that arthropods,
invertebrates, and mammals have adapted over time to camouflage
themselves and develop interesting ways to keep predators away.
It's so dark underground, you can't see the animals who live down
there - but with the help of your 'magic' torch, you'll get to
explore their hidden homes. Run with the rabbit into its burrow.
Follow the mole through its tunnels. Swim with the beaver to its
lodge. Swoop with the kingfisher into its riverbank nest. You'll
even discover how the extraordinary cockchafer is born and grows up
entirely underground. This title is part of the My First Discovery
paperback series - a unique collection of beautifully illustrated
information books for children aged 4 to 7, with simple language to
aid learning and realistic artwork to inspire young minds. This
edition contains a paper torch at the back of the book, revealing
hidden secrets on the 4 darkened transparent pages and making the
story come alive - one detail at a time. With free access to a
brand new audio app, children can listen and read along at their
own pace, page by page.
