continent and lift the flaps to see their unique environments and
habitats. Discover a world of animal facts, life-size photos and
creature features - from a bear's paw and a baby turtle to an

spider. EEK! All drawn to scale so you can measure yourself against
them. You'll find animals living on freezing ice caps, high on
snowy mountain peaks, in parched deserts and down in the dark
depths of the ocean. They fly through the air, crawl among trees,
burrow into the earth, plunge through the seas, and prowl the
forests - and range from the tiniest of insects too small to see
without a magnifying glass to the blue whale, which is longer than
three buses! The book is divided into seven sections: North
America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, Australasia, Oceania
& Antarctica - each with a map of the major environments as
well as illustrated and photographic depictions of some of the
animals living there. Are you ready for this round-the-world animal
adventure? About Lonely Planet Kids: Lonely Planet Kids - an

"Playground dynamics become testy as a willful child attempts to
exclude everyone else in this simple, humorous lesson in human
relations. . . . Deft and funny." --THE HORN BOOK
George has a house made from a big cardboard box, and he says that
no one else at the playground can come in. Not Lindy, because
George's house "isn't for girls," nor Freddie, because it "isn't
for small people." Sophie can't come in because, George says, "This
house isn't for people with glasses." But when George leaves his
house for a moment, everyone piles in, and on his return, George
gets a taste of his own medicine. Aided by Bob Graham's striking
illustrations of an urban playground, Michael Rosen tells the tale
of a little boy who makes a big discovery -- that letting everyone
into his playhouse is a lot more fun than keeping them out.
