Water is flowing all around us; in nature, in the home, and even
inside our bodies. In this descriptive storybook, young readers
will dive into simple explanations of the different states of
water, how weather cycles work, how water reaches our homes, and
how crucial it is for daily life. They'll soak up some startling
statistics, too - did you know, three quarters of the Earth's
surface is covered in water? This title is part of the My First
Discovery paperback series - a unique collection of beautifully
illustrated information books for children aged 4 to 7, with simple
language to aid learning and realistic artwork to inspire young
minds. There are 8 transparent overlay pages, which reveal hidden
surprises and make the pages come alive. With free access to a
brand new audio app, children can listen and read along at their
own pace, page by page.
New title in the internationally best-selling, and Blue Peter Book
Award-winning series. Following on from the incredible Invented by
Animals, Built by Animals introduces us to the creatures who have
inspired the materials and techniques that are used by humans in
the building world today. Meet over 26 animals behind the most
amazing building tech, humorously brought to life by Yeji Yun and
wittily and expertly explained by WWF educator Christiane Dorion.
This book dives into theworld of biomimicry and answers questions
like: How can we use more solar energy to power our homes? How can
we grow plants in the desert? How can we pump water to the top of
very tall buildings? How can we clean polluted rivers? From the
bee's honeycomb shape that strengthens structures to termites that
build their nests with natural air con, these creatures did it
first! And, at the end of the book, find out who wins big at the
Animal Builder Awards! Will it be the prairie dog, the peacock, the
beaver or the firefly? Built by Animals explores this amazing STEM
subject in a deceptively simple way, showing children that the
future of architecture can be inspired by and be respectful of
nature.
