A Year in My Life. Have you ever wondered what it is like to be an
amphibian - read this special book and find out! The narrative
introduces youngsters to the true wonders of the natural world in
an entertaining way. From waking up in the spring, to returning to
his woodland den in the autumn, Frog gives a fascinating, funny and
frightening true-to-life account of pond life. You can read all
about his slimy snacks, see his tadpole babies growing up and
transforming, and tremble at his terrifying encounters with Heron
and Cat! Well, here we go - my very own diary! I think I should
start with a few notes about me. I'm a frog. I've got two big eyes
to see my food and one wide mouth to gulp it down. I've got a tubby
green body, two strong back legs for leaping with, and two small
front legs for landing on - but no tail. My know-all friend Newt
tells me that I'm an amphibian. He says there are about 4,000
kinds, or species, of them. He is one too! He's almost as clever as
my human friend Steve Parker, who helped me to get this book
published. There are also illustrations by Robert Morton, Robin
Carter and Philip Bishop, who I think you'll agree have captured my
natural good looks.When it's warm enough, I live in the Pond. It's
very busy. There are ducks, fish and bugs, as well as lots of other
frogs, and visitors from far away. Life is never dull there, as you
will discover when you read my exciting story!

ant - well, read this special book and find out! In her own words,

attack, and beware of the egg-stealing spiders! I have a few
minutes to spare, so I can begin my diary at last. Here are a few
facts about me, my ant sisters and my friends. Ants are tiny. Ants'
brains are even tinier. We don't have much room for learning, but
we are born knowing all we need to know - which is, how to work.
All ants work very hard. We love it. Work is all we do and all we
want to do. There's no time for playing. By the time l've worked,
eaten and rested, it's time to work again - YIPPEE! I found all
this out from 'Old Ant', our oldest and wisest sister, who knows
EVERYTHING! She let me nibble some pages out of a book she found,
which explains it all. l've stuck some of the pages in my diary,
and there are also illustrations by Tim Hayward, Robin Carter and
Adam Stower - they've been working hard too. Right, rest period
over. I'm on duty again. Back to work - HOORAY!

commonly ask about them - and some they might not have thought of!
Steve Parker's simple and informative text explains how creatures
adapt their bodies and habits to suit their surroundings, while
each animal described is brought to life by Graham Rosewarne's
detailed illustrations. It is the perfect introduction for 5- to
8-year-olds to the amazing diversity of the animal kingdom. Do
animals carry umbrellas or wear winter clothes? Of course they
don't! In nature, animals have to survive using only their own
bodies. Creatures in cold climates have thick fur, feathers or fat
to keep them warm. Those that live in dry places need to drink very
little water. Animals in wet places have waterproof fur, feathers,
scales or skin to keep them dry. Such adaptations help creatures to
survive. Do animals play in the waves? Do they ever get stuck in
the mud?These and many more questions about how animals live in
different habitats are answered in this entertaining book.

crawlies. Why do bugs stay so small, have lots of legs, lay lots of
eggs, live in groups, change shape, or need wings? Children are

answer all of the questions they most frequently ask. Steve
Parker's simple and informative text explains how different bugs
live and why they behave as they do, while Graham Rosewarne's
stunning illustrations reveal each tiny creature in vivid detail.

creatures, including beetles, flies and other insects, spiders,
scorpions and other arachnids, snails, slugs and other molluscs,
centipedes, millipedes, leeches and worms. What all of these
creatures have in common is that they are invertebrates: animals
without backbones. Some bugs bite and sting us - but it's nothing
personal! Why do they do it?The answer to this and many other
questions can be found in this book, which will show you their
fascinating world, and will help you to understand how they live
their tiny lives.
This book also deals with other questions and answers about
prehistoric reptiles. Did dinosaurs go swimming, live in groups,

cute and friendly...but what would it eat? Should you take it for
walks? Dinosaurs lived a very long time ago. Their world was very
different to the one in which we live today. We know about
prehistoric creatures mainly from their fossils - bones, teeth and
other remains, preserved in the rocks. Fossils tell us that some
dinosaurs were big, others small. Some ate plants, others meat. The
females laid eggs - probably. How did dinosaurs die out? Could they
ever return?The answers to these and many other questions can be
found in this fascinating book.

not! They don't sit at desks or learn to read, write and do sums
like we do. But think a bit harder. Although animals don't go to
school in a special building, they do have to learn important
lessons to survive. They must master how to catch and store food,
make nests, fight against enemies and find their way around.
Sometimes their parents teach them. Sometimes they learn by
themselves. Do animals have refrigerators? Do they go to the
doctor? Do they dance and sing?These and many more questions are
answered in this intriguing natural history book.
