Part of Nosy Crow's list of publishing in collaboration with the
British Museum, developed in consultation with some of the world's

woolly mammoths and massive stone circles, but actually life for
kids could be pretty hard. In this hilarious book, written by

tough life really was, from living in a cave and hunting wild boar
to being forced down mines to collect flint... and even eating
butter kept in a bog! Probably the first book about Prehistoric
Times to feature roller skates and doughnuts, 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.

Welcome to the Have A Great Spray waterpark! There's slides, rides
and fried ice cream, but that's not the real attraction . . . Meet
Flamingo, Cactus, Donut and Watermelon - four inflatable pool
floats who live in an almost-forgotten pool next to the
Lost-and-Found office. They may have been left behind by their
original owners, but that hasn't stopped them becoming firm (well
actually quite squashy) friends. And of course there's Lynn too,
the traditional blue Lilo who has been floating around since the
park opened. She's been there, done that and got the puncture. But
things don't always go to plan when you're filled with air and live
in a park packed with pointy things. From Walter S. Lide - the
ruthless park owner - to Claws and Paws, the park's stray cats,
everyone is out to burst their bubble. With each day bringing a
fresh wave of drama, life with the inflatables is always guaranteed
to BLOW UP! Featuring TWO stories: Bad Air Day and Mission
Un-poppable. A funny, sunny, splash-tastic new series for readers
6+, featuring a gang of loveable pool floats! Perfect for fans of
The Bad Guys, Bad Kitty, Spongebob and Toy Story. "A pun-tastic,
abundantly silly graphic novel for 6+." The Guardian
Ever wanted to tell a joke like Fred or George Weasley? See
Wrackspurts like Luna Lovegood? Or leave class early with a Skiving
Snackbox? In this fun and interactive Water-Color! book, you'll use
a water-activated paintbrush to reveal: who used a Love Potion on
whom the Weasley twins' impressive Wildfire Whizbangs fireworks
show hidden creatures like Thestrals, Pygmy Puffs and Animagi and a
whole lot more! This amazing book is filled with adorable
film-inspired art. The paintbrush is activated with water, so it's
completely mess-free!
If someone asked you to paint a snowman, you would probably start
with three white circles stacked one upon another. Then you would
add black dots for eyes, an orange triangle for a nose and a black
dotted smile. But if Picasso painted a snowman... From that simple
premise flows this delightful, whimsical, educational picture book
that shows how the artist's imagination can summon magic from a
prosaic subject. Greg Newbold's chameleon-like artistry shows us
Roy Lichtenstein's snow hero saving the day, Georgia O'Keefe's
snowman blooming in the desert, Claude Monet's snowmen among
haystacks, Grant Wood's American Gothic snowman, Jackson Pollock's
snowman in ten thousand splats, Salvador Dali's snowmen dripping
like melty cheese, and snowmen as they might have been rendered by
J.M.W. Turner, Gustav Klimt, Paul Klee, Marc Chagall, Georges
Seurat, Pablita Velarde, Piet Mondrian, Sonia Delaunay, Jacob
Lawrence and Vincent van Gogh. Our guide for this tour is a lively
hamster who-also chameleon-like-sports a Dali moustache on one
spread, a Van Gogh ear bandage on the next. "What would your
snowman look like?" the book ask and then offers a page with a
picture frame for a child to fill in. Backmatter thumbnail
biographies of the artists complete this highly original tour of
the creative imagination that will delight adults as well as
children.

Where the Sidewalk Ends turns forty To celebrate this
anniversary of Shel Silverstein's outrageous and profound classic
poetry collection, the jacket features an eye-catching
commemorative red sticker. This special edition, with twelve extra
poems, was first published in 2004 and is a timeless
bestseller.
Where the sidewalk ends, Shel Silverstein's world begins. There
you'll meet a boy who turns into a TV set and a girl who eats a
whale. The Unicorn and the Bloath live there, and so does Sarah
Cynthia Sylvia Stout who will not take the garbage out. It is a
place where you wash your shadow and plant diamond gardens, a place
where shoes fly, sisters are auctioned off, and crocodiles go to
the dentist.
Shel Silverstein's masterful collection of poems and drawings is
one of Parent & Child magazine's 100 Greatest Books for Kids.
School Library Journal said, "Silverstein has an excellent sense of
rhythm and rhyme and a good ear for alliteration and assonance that
make these poems a pleasure to read aloud."
Shel Silverstein's incomparable career as a children's book
author and illustrator began with Lafcadio, the Lion Who Shot Back.
In 1964, Shel's creativity continued to flourish as four more books
were published in the same year--Don't Bump the Glump , A Giraffe
and a Half, Who Wants a Cheap Rhinoceros?, and the beloved classic
The Giving Tree. Later he continued to build his remarkable body of
work with Where the Sidewalk Ends, A Light in the Attic, Falling
Up, Every Thing On It, The Missing Piece, The Missing Piece Meets
the Big O, and Runny Babbit.
