A book behaving badly! From award-winning Richard Byrne, author of
This Book Just Ate My Dog (shortlisted for the Children's Book
Award) comes another wonderfully inventive book starring Ben and
Bella. It's a funny and original high-concept picture book where
the book itself interferes with what happens on the page. Ben has a
remote-controlled fire engine but when he presses the buttons on
the remote the engine doesn't turn or spin or sound its siren.
While Ben and Bella scratch their heads over this, strange things
are happening to Bella's dog. It's only when Ben tries the VOICE
button that Bella's dog is able to speak, warning them that 'This
Book is Out of Control!' Readers get the chance to press the
buttons and witness the hilarious slapstick results every time the
page is turned. It's an interactive experience for the reader who
ultimately has to help in restoring normality.
In this wonderfully inventive book, Bella is taking her dog for a
stroll across the page but halfway across, he disappears! Unable to
quite believe what's just happened Bella watches, transfixed, with
changing emotions of surprise, indignation, moments of renewed hope
(as the authorities arrive to take control) followed by shock (as
they too succumb to the book's inexplicable behaviour) and finally
action when Bella marches toward the dangerous middle of the book .
. . only to disappear herself! At this point, the book has consumed
its characters and it's down to the reader to step in to help. A
note from Bella appears directly appealing for assistance and, with
a rigorous shake, the characters reappear. Normality is restored
and Bella is finally able to take her dog for an uninterrupted walk
. . . or is she?!
Finlay (a little dinosaur) is counting out jelly beans to share
with his friend. He is sitting on a grassy mound. A big dinosaur
comes along and demands the jelly beans. He is rather rude, a bit
of a show-off, and he thinks that Finlay's friend is a figment of
his imagination. What follows is a lot of posturing from the big
dinosaur as he attempts to prove his worth with various antics on
and around the grassy mound. As the book progresses it will
gradually become clear to the reader that the 'grassy mound' is in
fact, Finlay's friend, the really, really, really big dinosaur! The
big dinosaur certainly doesn't realize until his bravado propels
him into a dark cave that turns out to be the mouth of the really,
really, really big dinosaur. It's only then that the big dinosaur
learns that in order to make friends it's a good idea not to show
off and it's a good idea to be prepared to share. Perfect for fans
of Rachel Bright and Jim Field's The Squirrels Who Squabbled.
Ben and Bella love the pages of their book. So, when jumping from
page to page, they suddenly find themselves in the wrong book
altogether, they are most perplexed. For Ben, Bella, and readers,
what follows is a rollercoaster journey through a counting book, a
comic book, a history book, a puzzle book, an ebook, a craft book,
a sticker book, a spot-the-difference book, and finally a scary
book - which ultimately propels them back into their own book!
Phew! From award-winning Richard Byrne, author and illustrator of
This Book Just Ate My Dog, shortlisted for the Children's Book
Award, this is the second picture book to feature Ben and Bella.
How did we become the linguistic, cultured, and hugely successful
apes that we are? Our closest relatives--the other mentally complex
and socially skilled primates--offer tantalizing clues. In "Tree of
Origin" nine of the world's top primate experts read these clues
and compose the most extensive picture to date of what the behavior
of monkeys and apes can tell us about our own evolution as a
species.
It has been nearly fifteen years since a single volume addressed
the issue of human evolution from a primate perspective, and in
that time we have witnessed explosive growth in research on the
subject. "Tree of Origin" gives us the latest news about bonobos,
the "make love not war" apes who behave so dramatically unlike
chimpanzees. We learn about the tool traditions and social customs
that set each ape community apart. We see how DNA analysis is
revolutionizing our understanding of paternity, intergroup
migration, and reproductive success. And we confront intriguing
discoveries about primate hunting behavior, politics, cognition,
diet, and the evolution of language and intelligence that challenge
claims of human uniqueness in new and subtle ways.
"Tree of Origin" provides the clearest glimpse yet of the
apelike ancestor who left the forest and began the long journey
toward modern humanity.
From award-winning Richard Byrne, author and illustrator of This
Book Just Ate My Dog, (shortlisted for the Children's Book Award)
comes another brilliantly inventive book starring Ben and Bella.
When Ben is tempting his cat across the page with a fluffy mouse,
his cat . . . disappears! Then his best friend Bella disappears,
too. Sniffer dogs and rescue teams can't help . . . When Ben also
vanishes, there's only one person left to help. You, the reader!
Can you release Ben, Bella, and the cat from the mischievous book?
It's a ticklish problem. Original, simple, and witty, this
high-concept picture book plays with the physical attributes of a
book to create a real page-turner.
