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.
The mountain habitat can provide shelter and water for cunning
predators, and the wolf and the golden eagle thrive there. The wolf
can travel 50 miles a day to find prey. The striking force of a
golden eagle's talons can be compared to that of a bullet. But
which animal is the fiercest of the ecosystem? Compare and contrast
each animal's features and skills before you declare the winning
predator.
SPLOOOOSH! We're off on an exciting underwater adventure in our submarine to meet the oceans and seas of our blue planet.
Join in with the rhymes and get ready to spot all the smiley-faced, friendly oceans, from the Atlantic and deep Pacific to the sparkling Mediterranean. Little ones will have a whale of a time (and be back in time for bed!) in this striking, story-led picture book.
This bold, bright follow-up to the acclaimed picture book Meet the Planets is packed with sea creatures from dolphins and beluga whales to turtles and manatees. The ocean is a vast treasure-house, threatened by plastic waste and pollution, and this picture book is the ideal introduction to the importance of caring for it. It's perfect for all would-be explorers!

Following a family move to Maine, twelve-year-old Reena has no idea what to expect.
She hopes it's going to be beaches, blueberries and all the lobster she can eat. She certainly doesn't expect to suddenly be put in charge of a menagerie of animals, belonging to the irascible Mrs Falala, who not only has a fast-wheeling pig, a secretive snake, but the most ornery cow she ever thought to meet.
A wonderfully funny, moving story of one family's move to the country, and the challenges they face.
Each of 'The Explorer's Guides' includes a realistically
illustrated 3D easy-to-assemble model with instructions, and a
full-colour booklet filled with fun activities and interesting
facts.

In this book from the critically acclaimed, multimillion-copy
bestselling Little People, BIG DREAMS series, discover the life of
Mary Anning, the mother of paleontology and daring fossil hunter.
When Mary was little, her family was very poor. She used to help
her dad to comb for shells and bones up high on dangerous cliffs.
After receiving a book as a gift from a kind benefactor, Mary
learned all about fossils. She continued to hunt for them and made
the startling discovery of a complete skeleton of an ichthyosaur.
Sadly, she wasn't allowed to study along with all the other men,
but she carried on making her own discoveries - including dinosaur
poo! - and advising the Geological Society when they needed help.
It took a lifetime to receive recognition but we all remember her
now as the mother of paleontology. This roar-some book features
stylish and quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back,
including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a
detailed profile of the paleontologist's life. Little People, BIG
DREAMS is a bestselling series of books and educational games that
explore the lives of outstanding people, from designers and artists
to scientists and activists. All of them achieved incredible
things, yet each began life as a child with a dream. This
empowering series offers inspiring messages to children of all
ages, in a range of formats. The board books are told in simple
sentences, perfect for reading aloud to babies and toddlers. The
hardback versions present expanded stories for beginning readers.
Boxed gift sets allow you to collect a selection of the books by
theme. Paper dolls, learning cards, matching games and other fun
learning tools provide even more ways to make the lives of these
role models accessible to children. Inspire the next generation of
outstanding people who will change the world with Little People,
BIG DREAMS!

From standout author, Alex Latimer, and bestselling illustrator,
David Litchfield, comes a beautiful picture book about finding -
and holding on to - friendship. One bright afternoon, Pip met Egg.
Pip is a seed from a glorious tree, and Egg is a bird's egg from a
nearby nest. When Pip and Egg first meet, they are almost the same
size and shape - like two peas in a pod. But as their friendship
grows, so do they - for Pip this means growing roots, but for Egg?
Well, Egg grows wings, and she can't wait to use them. Though Pip
wishes he can follow Egg on her adventures, his roots are strong.
So he watches his friend fly away. But true friends always find
their way back to one another, and there are no truer friends than
Pip and Egg. And if there's one thing they learn, it's that the
circle of life will always lead them back to each other. David
Litchfield is the award-winning author/illustrator of The Bear and
the Piano Lyrical, reassuring story that children will love Lush
illustrations filled with warmth and emotion Teaches children about
the value of friendship
