A wide-eyed girl and her mother explore London's busy streets and
towering views in this child-friendly tribute to an incomparable
city. London - the perfect place for a girl and her mother to spend
the day! Follow them as they board the classic red bus and begin a
whirlwind tour of some of London's most iconic landmarks. Try to
climb the awe-inspiring lions at Trafalgar Square, take in the
ritualistic Changing of the Guard, experience the whispering
gallery at St Paul's and - if you're lucky - you may even spot the
Queen! In this paean to Britain's bright and bustling capital city,
Salvatore Rubbino's fresh, lively paintings and breezy text capture
the delight of a young visitor experiencing the wonders of London
first-hand. And of course, what's London without a little rain?
Aspiring young ecologists will discover an amazing group of role
models and memorable experiments in Ecology for Kids, the fifth
book in The Kitchen Pantry Scientist series. This engaging guide
offers a series of snapshots of 25 scientists famous for their work
with ecology. Each lab tells the story of a scientist along with
some background about the importance of their work, and a
description of where it is still being used or reflected in today's
world. A step-by-step illustrated experiment paired with each story
offers kids a hands-on opportunity for exploring concepts the
scientists pursued, or are working on today. Experiments range from
very simple projects using materials you probably already have on
hand, to more complicated ones that may require a few inexpensive
items you can purchase online. Just a few of the incredible people
and scientific concepts you'll explore: Eunice Newton Foote (b.
1819) See how carbon dioxides trap heat George Washington Carver
(b. 1864) Grow beans and study soil conditions Rachel Carson (b.
1907) Test the water clarity from local ponds, lakes, or steams E.
