A magical picture book for Christmas, written in perfect, heartfelt
rhyme by Julia Donaldson, bestselling creator of Zog and Superworm.
"Magical . . . as well as paying tribute to tradition, the gentle
rhythmic verse and stunning pictures illuminate the two other
things close to Julia's heart: the power of children and song" Good
Housekeeping Deep in a snowy wood stands a little pine tree with a
special destiny: when it grows up, it's going to be the famous
Christmas tree in Trafalgar Square! This is the perfect picture
book to snuggle up with and share at Christmas. Gorgeous,
atmospheric illustrations whisk you from frozen forests to the
sparkling city square in a beautiful, moving story of festivity and
hope. Julia Donaldson's perfect rhyme is a joy to read aloud. This
is a classic to treasure for generations Victoria Sandoy's
exquisite, atmospheric illustrations are full of gorgeous details
to point out and share A paragraph on the final page of the book
explains the true story behind the tree The Christmas Pine is based
on a true story. It celebrates a special tradition that stretches
back over seventy years. Every year, the Mayor of Oslo in Norway
presents the British people with a spectacular Christmas tree. The
tree is a symbol of peace and friendship, and a thank you for the
UK's support during World War II. Each year, the UK Poetry Society
asks a poet to write a poem to welcome the tree. Julia Donaldson
originally wrote The Christmas Pine to celebrate the 2020 Christmas
tree. The poem was performed by London schoolchildren, and
displayed in Trafalgar Square. Julia Donaldson is the author of
many of the best-loved children's books ever written. She has been
awarded a CBE for services to literature, and is the most
celebrated children's writer in Britain today. Many of Julia
Donaldson's beloved picture books have been made into award-winning
animated films which are regularly shown on the BBC at Christmas.

In this cozy bedtime story, follow a child and his grandma through
a winter landscape to explore how the Earth goes to sleep for
winter. Spot the sleeping animals as the tale unfolds, then learn
about their hibernation habits from the information pages at the
end. Co-authors Sean Taylor (picture book author) and Alex Morss
(ecologist, journalist, and educator) offer a gentle introduction
to the concept of hibernation. In the frosty, quiet forest, the
snow blankets the ground and the trees have shed their leaves.
Where have all the animals gone? Are they asleep too? In each
cutaway scene, see what the child cannot - that underground below
his feet are dens with sleeping creatures, and within the hollow
trunks of trees, animals are nesting. After the story, annotated
illustrations explain the hibernation facts for each animal and
what they will do when they wake up for spring. Cozy up as you
expand your and your child's knowledge of the natural world.

from the unseen to the unexpected, the one thing these creatures
have in common is that they are all deadly to other animals.
Steve's encounters range from famous killers such as the Black
Mamba and the North American Grizzly Bear to less well known but no
less deadly animals. He introduces the surreal Pink River Dolphin
of Amazonia and captures Australia's elusive Ghost Bat for a closer
look. Learn about the ingenious techniques and extraordinary
weapons that some of our most dangerous animals are armed with.
Including the renowned, the unexpected and the downright bizarre,
this companion book to Steve Backshall's high adrenaline tour of
the world's most deadly is not to be missed.

From the Look Closer series, this richly illustrated concertina
book takes you on a journey through the deep dark waters, all the
way down to the seabed, before floating back up to the surface. A
follow-up to The Street Beneath My Feet, The Skies Above My Eyes
and The World Around Me, this visually stunning book ventures to
the very bottom of the sea on a journey of discovery. Through the
waves and into the deep, you'll spot all kinds of weird and
wonderful marine creatures, explore the seabed and discover the
impact humans have had on the underwater world. As you dive below
the surface, past sea otters playing in fields of giant kelp, you
will see sea lions and shoals of mackerel playing in the shallows,
before passing orcas hunting in pods in the deeper water. As well
as animals, discover the technology which is used under the sea,
from scuba breathing apparatus to oil pipelines and deep sea
submarines. As you reach the very bottom of the sea, the 'twilight
zone' where very little light can filter through, you will meet the
mysterious creatures of the deep such as Lanternfish and the
luminous swell shark. This book is part of the Look Closer series,
a set of concertina books which help teach us about the mysteries
which can be found in the world around us.
