Find out why bugs are so important - to humans, animals and the
survival of our planet Our amazing bugs are in trouble. Without
bugs, plants would not be able to make flowers or fruit. If bugs
disappeared, so would strawberries, apples, beans and tomatoes, and
even chocolate. Without them, we couldn't grow enough food to feed
us all. If we lost bugs, we would also lose creatures who depend on
them for survival, such as songbirds, badgers, bats and fish. Did
you know that one in three mouthfuls of our food depends on insect
pollination? Or that honey, oranges and silk would not exist
without invertebrates? Ninety per cent of wildflowers would become
extinct if there were no bugs were pollinating them. This book
shows the reasons why bugs are so important, to humans, animals and
the survival of our planet. You can also discover what you can do
to help protect bugs. Find out how bugs really can save the world
and do your bit to help them, too! Written by the charity, Buglife,
the Invertebrate Conservation Trust Supports science work in
schools by looking at different animals, adaptation, food chains,
life cycles, habitats and climate change

A Kid's Guide to the Chinese Zodiac is a charming, fun-filled
introduction to eastern astrology, perfect for discovering what
your sign-Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat,
Monkey, Rooster, Dog, or Pig-says about you. Are you loyal like the
Dog? Or stubborn like the Ox? What does the time you were born say
about who you are? Can knowing more about your Zodiac empower you
in your day to day? A Kid's Guide to the Chinese Zodiac offers the
history and lore behind this ancient classification system, along
with practical advice for young readers on how to navigate
relationships and apply oneself at school and at home, all based on
the qualities associated with the twelve Zodiac animals. Someone
born in the year of the Pig might prioritize stability and comfort.
Naturally agreeable, they may need to work at recognizing when
they're uncomfortable and speak up so they don't get stuck in the
mud. Someone who is a Rat, on the other hand, might be ambitious
and clever, but may need to take a step back from their own ideas
every now and then in order to find balance. Beautifully
illustrated, with sidebars on Chinese culture and myth throughout,
this book is an informative and mystical guide for any kid who is
curious about the universe and how they fit into it.
