you'll learn that seaweed is used to make ice cream, and that grey
seals can eat 10kg of fish a day (that's about the weight of two
bowling balls!). From bright-beaked puffins and sunbathing seals to
slippery seaweed and limpets clinging to rocks, there are over 200
different animals, plants and other wildlife to discover in this
spotter's guide. Discover how to be a wildlife detective, what
animals you might find when you go rock pooling and tips on how to
look after our coastline. Includes easy to look up fact boxes, a

In this uplifting picture book about spring, follow two children
and their father through their backyard as they discover all the
different ways nature wakes up from its long winter sleep. Spot the
busy creatures and plants as the tale unfolds, then learn about how
each responds to the increasing daylight and warmth that usher in
the season. Co-authors Sean Taylor (picture book author) and Alex
Morss (ecologist, journalist, and educator) offer an inviting
introduction to the science behind spring. The yard is bright,
birds are singing, the bees are buzzing and there are tadpoles in
the pond! What is all the commotion about? In each colourful scene,
the family discovers a different sign of spring - a bird collecting
twigs for its nest, a fox snuggling her cubs, a caterpillar
feasting on leaves... After the story, annotated illustrations
explain the spring behaviours of various plants and animals.
Inspire an appreciation for the natural world in this joyous
exploration of spring.
