From Julia Donaldson, bestselling author of The Gruffalo, and
award-winning illustrator Yuval Zommer, comes a charming minibeast
Cinderella story. Crawling through the garden, the little Woolly
Bear Caterpillar wonders what kind of moth she will become. Bonny
and bright, stunning and smart, but not kind, the other
caterpillars laugh at the small, plain Woolly Bear. There is one
thing that they are sure of: Woolly Bear could never be as dramatic
and beautiful as them! But could one little caterpillar be about to
undergo a truly terrific transformation? Brilliantly written and
stunningly illustrated this engaging picture book comes complete
with a non-fiction mini book about caterpillars and moths written
by a nature specialist.

Once upon a time, somewhere not far away, was the Wild. The Wild
was huge and giving, and everything from insects, to birds, to
humans made their home in it. At first, people lived lightly and
took what they needed, but when they started to take more, the Wild
suffered. For the Wild to be healthy, someone must be brave enough
to raise their voice . . . Yuval Zommer's lyrical modern fable has
a hopeful and powerful message about how our environment needs us
just as much as we need it.
This award-winning, double-sided foldout book takes you on a
fascinating journey down through the layers of the Earth, all the
way to the planet's core and out the other side. *Picked by the
Guardian as one of '15 Modern Classics' books* When you're out
walking around, whether on the city streets or a country trail,
there's always so much to see and hear. But do you ever stop and
look down? Have you ever wondered what's going on deep in the
ground under your feet? There are so many amazing sights to see!
One side of the foldout shows the ground beneath the city, whilst
the reverse side shows the ground beneath the countryside. The
underground scenes include tunnels and pipes, creatures' burrows,
layers of rock and the planet's molten core, each running
seamlessly into the next. Mixing urban and rural settings, covering
subjects such as geology, archaeology and natural history, The
Street Beneath My Feet offers children the opportunity to explore
their world through a detailed learning experience. And its
foldout, laperello (or concertina) style, which extends to 2.5
metres in length, is ideal for spreading out on the floor to pore
over for hours. Explore even more of the world with The Skies Above
My Eyes (August 2018) and The World Around Me (October 2020),
companion books from the Look Closer series.
Discover the beauty and wonder of trees in this stunningly
illustrated collection of poetry and stories celebrating trees and
what they mean to the world around us . . . Inspired by the woods
around his home, the mighty forests that support our life on Earth,
and the Ted Hughes poem which gives this book its title, My Heart
Was a Tree is a celebration, and Sir Michael Morpurgo's love letter
to trees. There are stories from an ancient olive remembering
Odysseus and Penelope, and from a eucalyptus that gave shelter to a
koala; from a piece of driftwood that was made into a chair, and
from a tiny sapling carried by a refugee as a reminder of home –
these are poems and stories that will amuse, move and energise
families and readers of all ages to appreciate the beauty and
wonder of trees. Yuval Zommer's beautiful, detailed illustrations
bring the natural world to life, and make My Heart Was a Tree a
book to pore over for hours and hours, discovering something new
each time.
Have you ever looked up and wondered what's going on high up in the
skies above your eyes? Take a journey up into the air, through the
atmosphere, way out into space and back down to Earth in this
richly illustrated concertina book. Zoom past the technology that
fills our skies, from helicopters, fighter jets, weather balloons,
to satellites, hang-gliders and hot-air balloons. Discover the
insects and animals that whizz through the skies, explore the
layers of the atmosphere, and travel through the solar system and
out to the galaxies far beyond. The follow up to The Street Beneath
My Feet, which dug down to the center of the Earth, this expansive
concertina book opens out to an impressive 2.5 metres, perfect for
inquisitive young minds. Begin your journey from the sidewalk of a
busy city. Look up beyond the traffic lights, utility wires, and
skyscrapers. Unfold the connected pages to reveal the incredible
man-made sights that you would see 20 kilometres above (a weather
balloon), 50 kilometres above (a rocket blasting a capsule into
space), 100 kilometres above (a space plane and satellites), 400
kilometres above (the International Space Station), 380,000
kilometres above (the Moon) and through our Solar System. Turn to
the top of the other side to make your way beyond the Solar System
to the hundreds of billions of galaxies filled with stars and
planets we haven't discovered yet. Then start your journey back
down through the amazing natural wonders you would see 10,000
kilometres above (a comet), 85 kilometres above (meteoroids burning
up as they enter Earth's atmosphere), 11 kilometres above (a
cumulonimbus cloud bringing thunder and lightning), 8 kilometres
above (migrating storks), and down through the mountains, past
trees, bats and butterflies to finally reach the ground again -
this time in a grassy clearing of a forest, where you can imagine
yourself lying on your back wondering at the thought of the whole
universe above your head. From jet trails to comets' tails, enjoy
amazing sights as you journey through the skies. Explore even more
of the world with The Street Beneath My Feet (March 2017) and The
World Around Me (October 2020), companion books from the Look
Closer series.
