Welcome to England's Ministry of Letters, the place where all the
words in the world - in books, magazines, newspapers, road signs,
posters, and more-start their lives, and from which the letters
coordinate their critical missions to help children learn the
alphabet. This book tells the story of Charlie Foxtrot, who starts
school and finds mastering the alphabet confusing. The members of
the Ministry's Special Alphabet Service set off on a mission to
Scotland to help Charlie and to open his mind to the power of
letters and words. The charming artwork, reminiscent of classic
children's book illustrations from the 1950s and 1960s, combines
with the witty text to bring the characters of the alphabet to
life.

A bold, bright and fascinating Nature Storybook about one of the
world's most hated creatures - the snake! A bold, bright and
fascinating Nature Storybook by award-winning writer and zoologist
Nicola Davies, about one of the world's most hated creatures - the
snake! Perhaps it's the way they slither, or maybe it's their
slimy, scaly skin ... whatever the reason, many of us shiver at the
thought of a snake - and so does the little girl in this book. But
the rest of her family loves them and as they tell her more about
snakes (did you know they have no eyelids, smell with their tongues
and can swim?) she has a change of heart, and by the end of the
book she loves them too. Luciano Lozano's stylish, colourful and
informative illustrations perfectly match the warmth and humour of
the text.
A beautifully illustrated and inspiring MIT Kids picture book
biography of Santiago Ramón y Cajal, an incredible artist and the
Father of Neuroscience. Santiago always loved drawing. With chalk
or charcoal, he could create bullfights on walls, and sail ships
across doorways. But his father wanted Santiago to be a doctor, not
an artist, so Santiago had to paint in secret. Until, one night, he
and his father slipped into an abandoned graveyard to look for
skeletons, and Santiago realised that the human body was a work of
art too. Inspired, Santiago trained as a doctor and, with his
artistic eye, he discovered the secrets of the nervous system,
becoming the Father of Neuroscience. This stunning picture book
from scientist Christine Iverson, imaginatively illustrated by
Spanish artist Luciano Lozano, cleverly incorporates Santiago's own
drawings, to bring to life his fascinating and inspiring story.
With end matter including scientific notes, reference material and
a detailed biography of Santiago, this STEAM title proves that art
and science really do create wonders together.
