Spinosaurus could do with its nose, why the head of a

things to know about all kinds of dinosaurs.
How do you sum up a whole country in just 100 words? This striking
book takes on the challenge! From amendment to Vegas, each of the
carefully chosen 100 words has its own 100-word-long description
and beautiful illustration, providing a potted insight of what the
USA means to people today: its roots, its values, its culture and
customs. Basically, everything you need to know in a nut shell.
Along with some expected words, such as liberty and constitution,
you'll also find less predictable words that will give you a fresh
perspective. With speech, learn about the right to freedom of
speech enshrined in the First Amendment. Through Rosa, learn about
the civil rights movement and the African American woman who became
one its icons by refusing to give up her bus seat. With words like
hamburger, Manhattan, blues, freedom, Hollywood, immigrant,
protest, superhero, Moon, Texas and Washington, gain perspective on
the many facets of American culture. Finally, you'll be asked, 'If
you were to choose the 100 words, which would you pick?'

This is the first children's book from CBBC presenter Maddie Moate:
a collection of extraordinary stories about STUFF. Do you ever
wonder where your stuff comes from, and what happens to it when
you're finished with it? Did you know that you can make paper out
of elephant poo? And plastic packaging out of seaweed? And did you
know that if you throw away an old T-shirt, it can take 200 years
to break down? Written and researched by Maddie Moate, the star of
CBBC's Do You Know? and Let's Go Live with Maddie and Greg, and
illustrated by Paul Boston, this book is full of mind-bursting
facts and extraordinary stories of the ingenious ways people around
the world, and across history, have made, used and re-used the
stuff around them.
This book WON'T test your mental maths or teach you countless ways
to find x. It WILL show you just how fascinating maths can be. Can
maths make people rich? Can formulas predict which sports teams
will win more games? Can equations explain the mysteries of the
universe? The short answer to all these is YES. This book explores
and explains the ways that the tools of mathematics help people
make sense of the world around them, predict the future and, just
maybe, how to make life itself better.
