complete length and breadth of the topic of conservation, which is
more important today than ever before. Combining history with
science, this deeply insightful book charts the changes in our
understanding and relationship with conservation, from the
beginnings of the planet when humans didn’t consider their impact
on their surroundings, to the modern world and what we can do to
protect our natural resources today. Earth’s natural resources
include air, minerals, plants, soil, water, and wildlife.
Conservation is the care and protection of these resources so that
they can persist for future generations. It includes maintaining
diversity of species, genes, and ecosystems, as well as functions
of the environment, such as nutrient cycling. As well as
discovering the effects conservation could have across the world,
this book will help you discover practical ways we can work
together to help protect our resources for our future generations.

illustrations this is the perfect book for budding scientists and
those eager to learn more about our amazing planet. Are you ready
for an exciting and dramatic story about how life began and
developed on Planet Earth? Packed full of fascinating facts and
funny illustrations, this is the perfect introduction to life on
earth for even the youngest of readers. At first, nothing lived on
Earth. It was a noisy, hot, scary place. Choking gas exploded from
volcanoes and oceans of lava bubbled around the globe...Then in the
deep, dark ocean, something amazing happened. Find out how the
first living cell was created, and how the cells multiply and
create jellyfish and worms, and then fish with bendy necks, which
drag themselves out of the water into swampy forests. Discover the
story of the biggest creatures that have ever walked on land - the
dinosaurs. Long after that, hairy creatures who have babies, not
eggs, take over, stand on two legs and spread around the world,
some of them living through cataclysmic events such as ice ages and
volcanic eruptions. CLICK HERE to download Teachers' Notes

Laugh out loud with this wonderfully funny and charming picture
book story about frogs coming together from around the world to
particpate in and celebrate their 'Frog Olympics'. The rhyming text
is brilliant to read out loud at home or in the classroom. Great
for discussion starters about the Olympics and to talk about
inclusion and how people, or frogs, of every size and ability can
take part in the Olympics. Humorously illustrated by Amy Husband,
the frogs will really leap off the page.
Learn all about sharing as flannel-clad ocean friends share their
way through this super-silly adventure starring Shark and the
letter S. This zany group of animal friends models positive
behaviors in stories that will have little ones giggling and
joining in to "read" along. Each book focuses on a single letter of
the alphabet and uses repetition and humor to explore concepts such
as love, sharing, and gratitude. In S Is for Sharing (and Shark!),
a toothy shark attempts to learn the art of sharing with his fellow
sea creatures, to humorous effect. The simple text tells a
cumulative story that builds upon itself with each new S word: "S
is for Sharing and Skis and School." The concept of sharing--an
important one as children enter classroom and playground
environments--is woven throughout, making this title perfect for
the back-to-school season. Children will enjoy predicting the
repeating elements and recognising the letter S as they learn about
sharing with these adorably hip animal friends. Flocking on the
cover will enhance the shelf appeal.
