in the RSPB Nature Guide series, following Birds and Wildlife.
The spellbinding sequel to Tom Fletcher's bestselling magical adventure, The Christmasaurus.
'She is the best-kept Christmas secret of all,' whispered Santa Claus. 'Which is surprising, because Christmas itself would not exist without her. She is older than time itself, yet still as young as tomorrow. She is known only as the Winter Witch.'
One year has passed since William Trundle's incredible adventure with the most extraordinary dinosaur: the Christmasaurus. Now, William is swept back to the magical North Pole, where he meets the mysterious, icy Winter Witch - whose power to control time allows Santa Claus to make the long journey all around the world every Christmas Eve.
And when they learn that the fate of Christmas itself hangs in the balance, William and the Christmasaurus must work with the Winter Witch to protect it...
Full of magic and music, humour and heart, and a friendship like no other, The Christmasaurus and the Winter Witch is the most enchanting Christmas read for the whole family.

Did you know that not all dinosaurs were green and scaly, some were
ginger and feathered, or that they didn't all roar, they cooed like
pigeons, or that the ultimate prehistoric predator was actually not
a dinosaur? What do you THINK you know about Tyrannosaurus rex?
With an introduction from Steve Backshall, new content, Ask the
Expert sections, a fossil guide and quizzes to test your knowledge,
these are still the most uptodate dinosaur books in 66 million

This is a non-fiction book like no other, because it is a flip book
in two languages. Children can read THE CLOWNFISH in English or
flip the book over to enjoy EL PEZ PAYASO in Spanish. Children will
no longer be confused by having both translations on the same page.
Tina Liccioni has over 10 years of experience teaching regular
education, English as a Second Language, and Bilingual children at
the elementary level. She believes children prefer non-fiction
books with vibrant, real photographs, like the ones in this book.
After researching, she found that there is not a big selection of
non-fiction books to choose from for young readers, and even fewer
that are bilingual. THE CLOWNFISH/EL PEZ PAYASO has simple
sentences for beginning readers, ages 4-8. Since it is factual,
even older children can learn about the clownfish's colorful
appearance, habitat, eggs, diet and size. This book is highly
recommended for teachers, librarians, and parents. Share it with
chldren so that they may develop a love for reading at an early age
and become stronger in two languages. Este es un libro como ning

Earthwise is full of practical ideas for nature crafts and seasonal
activities to encourage young children to be aware of their
environment. The activities are carefully written and beautifully
illustrated, and will encourage children to develop a respect for
nature, the earth and all living creatures. Children will learn
about their dependence on the earth's produce (by taking stalks of
wheat and turning them into bread-flour); how to create and not
just consume (by making their own gifts); how to make butter and
grow food (even in the city); and how to make outdoor playhouses
from natural materials. The book also contains seasonal suggestions
for making a more Earth-friendly home and classroom, and a
comprehensive list of resources and suppliers.
