A masterpiece of storytelling with evocative and stunning
illustrations, destined to be read for years to come.
The wishing stars burn bright tonight, the air is thick with dreams,
And a deeply sleeping dinosaur is waking up, it seems . . .
In a town by the seaside, Marianne is often seen foraging on the beach.
But she isn't playing with children her own age. Instead Marianne is
alone, and digging for dinosaur bones to build a special sort of
companion. Then, one night, she goes to sleep wishing with all her
heart that her dinosaur might come to life . . .
A very rare and special book where the words and pictures take you on a
magical journey far beyond the page.

Hi, there! I'm an emperor penguin. I might be the largest penguin
on Earth, but I started life much smaller, just like you! Learn
more about my life cycle and how I went from an egg to the king of
Antarctica. My Life as an Emperor Penguin is part of the My Life
Cycle series, which uses adorable, first-person narratives to
introduce a variety of life cycles. These illustrated non-fiction
picture books combine science and humour to deepen students'
understanding of different organisms and help young readers make
easy comparisons between their life cycles and those of other
living things. Fact boxes present additional science information,
and each book ends with a complete life-cycle diagram. Perfect for
supporting the study of plants and animals in the Year 2 science
curriculum, help young readers get to know plants, animals and
other living things from start to finish!
