From the bestselling author and rewilding pioneer Isabella Tree,
When We Went Wild is a heartwarming, sustainably printed picture
book about the benefits of letting nature take the lead, inspired
by real-life rewilding projects. Nancy and Jake are farmers. They
raise their cows and pigs, and grow their crops. They use a lot of
big machines to help them, and spray a lot of chemicals to get rid
of the weeds and the pests. That's what all good farmers do, isn't
it? And yet, there is no wildlife living on their farm. The animals
look sad. Even the trees look sad! One day, Nancy has an idea...
what if they stopped using all the machines, and all the chemicals,
and instead they went wild? The author's own experience of
rewilding her estate at Knepp has influenced conservation
techniques around the world that are bringing nature back to the
countryside and bringing threatened species back from the brink.
Ivy Kids brings you beautiful, sustainably printed books to rewild

Finally, Bonehead's friends refuse to believe his warnings and the
Gigantosaurus really turns up! In a vertical gatefold surprise, it
looks like Bonehead has got crunched - but in a hilarious reveal we
discover this annoying little dinosaur is safe after all.

explains the true story behind the tree The Christmas Pine is based
on a true story. It celebrates a special tradition that stretches
back over seventy years. Every year, the Mayor of Oslo in Norway
presents the British people with a spectacular Christmas tree. The
tree is a symbol of peace and friendship, and a thank you for the
UK's support during World War II. Each year, the UK Poetry Society
asks a poet to write a poem to welcome the tree. Julia Donaldson
originally wrote The Christmas Pine to celebrate the 2020 Christmas
tree. The poem was performed by London schoolchildren, and
displayed in Trafalgar Square. Julia Donaldson is the author of
many of the best-loved children's books ever written. She has been
awarded a CBE for services to literature, and is the most
celebrated children's writer in Britain today. Many of Julia
Donaldson's beloved picture books have been made into award-winning
animated films which are regularly shown on the BBC at Christmas.

hierdie boek het by my ontstaan nadat ek 'n tenniswedstryd gewen
het. Ek het dit geniet om heeltyd by vriende en familie te spog, en
toe besef ek dat ek dit onder hulle neuse vryf, net soos Hond!"
