Antarctica - vast, cold and mysterious. This frozen continent is
full of incredible stories. Here you can discover incredible
wildlife, awe-inspiring landscapes and adventurous scientists and
explorers. Join author Karen Romano Young on a trip across
Antarctica, hanging out with people and animals and learning about
how this special place is changing, and what it means for our
planet. Hang out with some of the coolest creatures on earth above
and below the ice as you meet emperor penguins, killer whales and
elephant seals. Suit up for the cold and explore some of the
harshest landscapes on earth, following in the footsteps of brave
explorers. And learn about how scientists survive here today and
what they do all day - from studying climate change to
investigating ice cores almost a million years old to learn about
the history - and future - of our planet.
Owl and Bird take a walk and count the things they see. Bold,
colorful illustrations with cute characters and simple text enable
babies and toddlers to learn about the concept of numbers. Printed
as a board book, the story is nicely designed for young children.
This lovely children's book provides an interesting insight to the
anatomy and behaviour of the animals of the British countryside and
farmyard. It endeavours to answer questions such as Why are the
horns of the deer branched?, Why does the rabbit have a white tail?
and Why the Sheep has a woolly coat? Beautifully illustrated
throughout with Edwin Noble's black and white and colour
illustrations.

'Guaranteed free of unicorns and princesses, it's fun, empowering
fiction for 5-8 year olds.' David Nicholls, author of One Day Join
Katy, Cassie, Zia and their new friend Luca on a series of amazing
adventures as they work together to save the planet... When
Cassie's cousin Luca joins the girls' school, they have the perfect
idea to make him feel included: invite him to a magical playdate
adventure. Together with Thunder the cat, they decide to go on a
wild journey to the African savannah in their very own flying
safari jeep. But when they arrive, the animals are in a frenzy. The
watering holes are drying up and soon there won't be anything left
for them to drink! Luca has an idea that might just save the day -
but will the friends be able to pull it off?
Have you ever looked up and wondered what's going on high up in the
skies above your eyes? Take a journey up into the air, through the
atmosphere, way out into space and back down to Earth in this
richly illustrated concertina book. Zoom past the technology that
fills our skies, from helicopters, fighter jets, weather balloons,
to satellites, hang-gliders and hot-air balloons. Discover the
insects and animals that whizz through the skies, explore the
layers of the atmosphere, and travel through the solar system and
out to the galaxies far beyond. The follow up to The Street Beneath
My Feet, which dug down to the center of the Earth, this expansive
concertina book opens out to an impressive 2.5 metres, perfect for
inquisitive young minds. Begin your journey from the sidewalk of a
busy city. Look up beyond the traffic lights, utility wires, and
skyscrapers. Unfold the connected pages to reveal the incredible
man-made sights that you would see 20 kilometres above (a weather
balloon), 50 kilometres above (a rocket blasting a capsule into
space), 100 kilometres above (a space plane and satellites), 400
kilometres above (the International Space Station), 380,000
kilometres above (the Moon) and through our Solar System. Turn to
the top of the other side to make your way beyond the Solar System
to the hundreds of billions of galaxies filled with stars and
planets we haven't discovered yet. Then start your journey back
down through the amazing natural wonders you would see 10,000
kilometres above (a comet), 85 kilometres above (meteoroids burning
up as they enter Earth's atmosphere), 11 kilometres above (a
cumulonimbus cloud bringing thunder and lightning), 8 kilometres
above (migrating storks), and down through the mountains, past
trees, bats and butterflies to finally reach the ground again -
this time in a grassy clearing of a forest, where you can imagine
yourself lying on your back wondering at the thought of the whole
universe above your head. From jet trails to comets' tails, enjoy
amazing sights as you journey through the skies. Explore even more
of the world with The Street Beneath My Feet (March 2017) and The
World Around Me (October 2020), companion books from the Look
Closer series.
