the long-awaited sequel to Pax; gorgeously crafted, utterly
compelling with stunning illustrations by award-winning author and
illustrator Jon Klassen. It's been a year since Peter and his pet
fox, Pax, have seen each other. Once inseparable, they now lead
very different lives. Pax must protect his litter of kits in a
dangerous world. Meanwhile Peter, orphaned after the war, has left
his adopted home and joined the Water Warriors, a group determined
to heal the land from the scars of the war. When one of Pax's kits
falls desperately ill, he turns to the one human he knows he can

heart, love keeps finding a way in. Now both boy and fox find
themselves on journeys toward home, healing - and each other. A

Did you know that the world's biggest tongue belongs to the blue
whale? Or that the snub-nosed monkey's nostrils point upwards, and
when it rains it makes them sneeze? From paws to claws, tongues,
teeth, tails and more, compare the biggest and the smallest animals
(and all the others in between) in this illustrated exploration of
creatures and their features. Includes stunning 'UP CLOSE' pages,
which take a life-size look at a particular feature of two very
different animals. See the mighty elephant's trunk (it can grow as
long as a bathtub!) and compare it to the sensitive snout of an
elephant shrew. Study the bristly tongue of a penguin and see how
different it is to the stretchy, long tongue of a salamander.
Written by science writer and children's book author Isabel Thomas,
with beautiful illustrations by Dawn Cooper, this absorbing book
will delight and educate young animal lovers aged 6+.

wonders about the world around them.
This special book asks children a simple question: How Can We Be
Kind? The answer is: by learning from the animal kingdom! Animals
demonstrate kindness and empathy towards each other, and care and
compassion can be seen all throughout the natural world. This book
shows children the ways they can be kind just like animalsare to
each other, while at the same time teaching them about the magic
and the beauty of the natural world. They can learn to be welcoming
like capybaras, who let other animals sit on top of them while they
wallow in mud. Or perhaps they might want to be like dolphins, who
guide other species to their destinations. Or maybe they would like
to work together like ants and bees, share what they have like
jackdaws or stick up for their friends like zebras. With beautiful
illustrations from Darla Okada, this beautiful picture book will
enchant and entertain children time and time again. There are facts
at the back about how each animal lives with and looks after its
fellow creatures. This sweet and thoughtful book is both a
celebration of the animal world and a manifesto for being kind in
everyday life.
