It sounded like a respectable and worthy enough death for an
explorer - tumbling from an ice bridge to be impaled upon a mammoth
tusk - but Stella really, really didn't want that to happen, just
the same.Join Stella Starflake Pearl and her three fellow explorers
as they trek across the snowy Icelands and come face-to-face with
frost fairies, snow queens, outlaw hideouts, unicorns, pygmy
dinosaurs and carnivorous cabbages . . . When Stella and three
other junior explorers get separated from their expedition can they
cross the frozen wilderness and live to tell the tale?
This beautifully illustrated book is packed with things you'd
expect to find along a seashore; from familiar shells, crabs and
seaweed to more unusual creatures and plants. Children can use the
stickers to bring each page to life. Themes include a sandy beach,
crabs and starfish in rockpools, sea birds, seals, puffins, sea
otters and turtles.

'That is the way of the largest creature on earth. That is the
whale's way.' The humpback whales journey through polar seas,
diving, spouting and leaping. As winter comes they swim through
treacherous waters towards the warmer climate of the equator. Will
they escape the hunters and guide baby whale to safety? Telling the
story of the life cycle of the whale in a simple narrative, this is
a beautifully illustrated book with timeless appeal.
A deep dive into the history and science of dirt. Millions of
people on Earth start their day the same way: we get out of bed, go
to the loo and wash ourselves. But this hasn't always been the
standard routine. Ancient Greeks and Romans were happy to splash
about in public baths, but by the time the plague struck
14th-century Europe, many people believed that water spread
diseases. It was not until the 18th century that Louis Pasteur
proved that dangerous germs actually lurk in dirt. Even when
hygienic habits began to be taught in schools, lessons were limited
to washing faces and hands, because those were the parts that
everyone could see. Dive deep into the history and science of dirt,
discovering how people around the world (and out in space!) keep
themselves and their surroundings free from filth, how our ideas of
what's clean and what's not have changed and developed over the
centuries, and why a little dirt can sometimes be a good thing...
