The colourful guide to the Natural History Museum, London has been
designed especially for kids to enjoy when visiting the Museum and
at home. It is packed with fascinating facts and fun for all the
family including puzzles, games and quizzes. The content has been
developed around themes that showcase all of the Museum galleries.
Each theme contains a series of questions - What is a dinosaur? How
old is the Earth? What is the smallest part of you? - that can be
explored within the galleries. The book also goes beyond the
galleries to explore behind the scenes at the Museum including what
our scientists do, what's in our collections and why they are so
useful. This fun, interactive guide incorporates the latest Museum
map and can be dipped into as necessary, or used to follow a route
through the galleries. Kids Only aims to support family visits and
facilitate children's learning and enjoyment in the galleries and
beyond. It is complemented by the Museum website and will make the
Museum more accessible to those unable to visit.
Each page has clues to help the young zoologist discover the body
parts required to equip the most amazing animals for the safari
survival. By pushing in place the snap-on tails, scales, claws and
jaws stored in the pull-out tray, children complete each scene and
discover what makes each animal unique.

Shortlisted for The Little Rebels Children's Book Award 2020! There
was once a farm where all the animals were friends. Together they
looked after the farm and each other. It wasn't perfect and they
didn't always agree (animals almost never do). But the Geese have
hatched a plan to leave the farm... will life be perfect for them
now? A powerful modern-day fable for our times told with humour and
warmth, and most importantly, hope. A story of building bridges not
barriers, respect not resentment and of finding friendship, not
fear. 'The Little Island eloquently illustrates the pitfalls of
isolation... Clear, comic and ending on a hopeful note' Guardian
'Animal Farm for our times... a little island of sanity in the
rising tide of insanity around us' Axel Scheffler, illustrator of
The Gruffalo 'An allegory with a 'better together' theme' Sunday
Times, Best Children's Books of 2019 'An elegantly written fable
about division, with serious soul.' Sally Phillips 'I love it.,.
the overall message is hope and the power of togetherness which is
a lesson that many adults could do with hearing.' Dom Joly
