--Cressida Cowell, Waterstones Children's Laureate A journey into
the wonderful world of your microbiome. Within our bodies hides an
entire world of organisms called microbes. They digest our food and
protect our immune systems, and without them, we would die. Through
Katie Brosnan's personable illustrations, we follow the digestive
process from the moment the food enters our mouths to the moment
the waste leaves our bodies. Along the way we are introduced to a
variety of microbes - good and bad - and gain an insight into the
vast ecosystem that exists inside us. Scientists are only now
beginning to comprehend the significance of our microbiome. This is
a gorgeously presented introduction to a most fascinating
scientific frontier.
'Distinctive illustrations accompany this thought-provoking tale
about the importance of self-expression, which could be used to
explore the concepts of emotional intelligence, diversity and
acceptance with young children. -- Book Trust The illustrations
bring these colourful characters to life, especially in the
depiction of Bailey and his amazing tail.' -- Reading Zone Dex is a
Staffie with an unruly tail. All the other members of Dex's family
are tough as nails, but Dex is cut from a different cloth. He likes
to chat and play, and when he does, his tail wags wildly. When he's
sad, his tail tucks under. Everyone can see exactly how he's
feeling. The rest of Dex's family find it very embarrassing, so Dex
tries to rein his tail in - to no avail. One day at the park, Dex
is doing his best to control his tail when a big red dog called
Bailey bounds up to him. Bailey has the waggiest, most ridiculous
tail Dex has ever seen. They have a marvellous time playing, until
Dex catches sight of his dad's disapproving face. Dex runs and runs
and runs, until he stops caring - about his tail - about anything.
When Dad finds him, his tail is completely still. It doesn't wag,
it doesn't tuck under. It's just there. After a couple weeks, Dad
starts to feel uncomfortable. What could be wrong with Dex? Dad and
Dex go back to the park, where with the help of Bailey, they
rediscover the joys of self expression.
