Tom Read Wilson is here to take us on a rip-roaring tour through
some of the most astonishing and amusing words in the English
language with Every Word Tells a Story. See how the English
language evolved in this extraordinary exploration of the origins
of everyday words. Full of funny stories and fascinating facts, Tom
Read Wilson knows even the most ordinary-sounding word can have the
most surprising story behind it! Did you know, for instance, that:
The word 'bloomers' comes from Amelia Bloomer, who was a women's
rights activist and owner and editor of the first U.S. newspaper
edited by and for women, who wanted to move more freely in her
knickers? Or that the word 'daisy' comes from the Old English
daeges eage, meaning 'day's eye', because the petals of a daisy
open at dawn and close at dusk? The word 'easel' comes from the
Dutch word 'ezel', meaning donkey, because both are depenable and
suitable for carrying a load? Or that English nicknames for police
officers, 'bobbies' and 'peelers', both come from the names of Sir
Robert Peel, British prime minister in the 1800s and creator of the
first modern police force? Each fascinating word is explored
through a quirky, amusing story alongside the etymology, word
origin and definition. Paired with beautiful, characterful
illustrations by Ian Morris, Every Word Tells a Story is a perfect
book for young wordsmiths, encouraging kids and adults alike to
have fun whilst learning about language.

Great mistakes make great reading! No area of human endeavor is
immune to human error, as these stories of mistakes throughout
history clearly show. Some of these mistakes are foolish or funny.
Others are serious, terrifying or disastrous. Some are famous.
Others are not well known. All of them are marvelously
entertaining. Here is the amusing story of a triple double play,
the little-known truth about the awesome angle of the Leaning Tower
of Pisa, the harrowing tale of the man who was hanged twice. The
famous and colorful mayor of New York, Fiorello La Guardia, once
said, "I don't make many mistakes, but when I make one, it's a
beaut." Everyone makes mistakes-mayors, presidents, kings,
generals, police officers, judges, scientists, explorers,
millionaires, baseball players, parents and students. So remember
when you make a mistake, you are not alone! You are in the company
of some of the most powerful and smartest people in history!

A gorgeously illustrated and engaging guide to the world of art.
Immerse yourself in the amazing world of art in this beautiful book with text by Helena Hunt, stylishly illustrated by the inimitable print-maker James Brown.
What is art, and how have we used it to express ourselves throughout history? From cave painting right up to pop art; the Renaissance to twentieth-century sculpture, discover the stories behind great movements, processes and artists – both the household names and the perhaps not-so-familiar. Covering thirty topics, including printing, pigment, ceramics and pattern and photography, as well as Impressionism, Romanticism and Surrealism, this is a thoughtful and easily digestible approach to a huge subject.
Take off with some of the world's famous aircraft. This book
contains 4 super punch-out Glide Planes in a pull-out center
section. With pre-cut parts they're so easy to assemble And that's
not all. After you have built the planes you still have a fantastic
20 page full color book, filled with great pictures showing the
history of flight - from its beginnings up to the fastest, biggest
and strangest flying machines ever created.
This delightful book contains a large collection of games for
children, young and old which are illustrated with Kate Greenaway's
beautifully charming and delicate pictures. This book was
originally published in 1899 and Pook Press are republishing it in
order to allow children and adults to enjoy both the games and the
wonderful illustrations.
A laugh-out-loud book based on everyone's favourite game, Would You
Rather? Would you rather ... Be able to fly or be able to turn
invisible? Eat rotten eggs or drink expired milk? Have hands for
feet or have feet for hands? Containing hundreds of devious
dilemmas and quick-witted questions on the silly, smelly and
everything in between, this is a game book like no other. Featuring
themed sections, flowcharts and treasure hunts as a fresh take on
the format, it's guaranteed to keep children (and adults!)
entertained for hours on end.

Part of Nosy Crow's list of publishing in collaboration with the
British Museum, developed in consultation with some of the world's
leading experts on Viking history. A kid's life as a Viking might
sound like fun, what with all those cool battles and awesome
longships, but actually life for kids could be pretty hard. In this
hilarious book, children will learn just how tough life really was,
from spending years on a raid and sharing your bedroom with farm
animals, to being poked full of holes . . . and even eating
extremely watery porridge. Probably the first book about Viking
times to feature children walking polar bears and rubber ducks,
this is a must read for kids with a passion for horrible history!
Brought to life with rich, humorous illustrations by super-talented
Marisa Morea. Other titles in the series include: Ancient Egypt,
Ancient Rome, Ancient Greece, Aztec Age, Prehistoric Times, and
Medieval Castle.
