Meet Marcus Rashford - Ultimate Football Hero This is the story of
Marcus Rashford - one of the brightest young stars on the
Manchester United books and future England goalscoring legend. From
tough beginnings in Manchester, Rashford has proven to be one of
the Premier League's shining stars, scoring twice on his senior
debut, scoring in his first Premier League match and scoring on his
England debut in 2016. The future can only get better! Ultimate
Football Heroes is a series of biographies telling the life stories
of the biggest and best footballers in the world and their
incredible journeys from childhood fan to superstar professional
player. Written in fast-paced, action-packed style these books are
perfect for all the family to collect and share.
This handbook enables readers to identify more than 40 wildflower
species. Working closely with the Wildlife Trusts, Wildlife Watch
initiative, readers are encouraged to personalize their handbook by
adding photos, making notes, placing stickers and logging
sightings.
In her hugely successful books Creatures of the Deep and What's in
the Egg, as well as her enormously popular series of greeting cards
for the Museum of Modern Art, Maike Biederstaedt has established
herself as one of the preeminent paper artists working today. Now
Biederstaedt takes book engineering to new heights as she immerses
readers in five electrifying weather scenarios. As each spread
unfolds, a meticulously designed landscape emerges--a freighter
balances like a nutshell between high waves in the sea; a tornado
takes terrifying aim at a truck trying to outrun it; a rain-spewing
storm cloud towers like a skyscraper over a farm house. Nature's
delicate beauty emerges in the intricate shapes of a snowflake and
in the luminous arc of a rainbow. Each page features an informative
description of its weather event and the book closes with sobering
commentary on the effects of climate change. A wondrous
introduction to weather for budding climatologists, this is also an
artistic tour de force that collectors will treasure.
