Join the most adorable penguin world explorer on a gastronomic
jaunt around the planet in Plume: Global Nibbler, the second book
in Tania McCartney's series for little ones, celebrating the
cultures and diversity of the world around us! Plume loves to cook
- and to eat. He loves a bit of spice and he's on a mission to fire
up the tastebuds of his fussy-eater penguin friends. With the help
of his dear friend Ava (of the Albatross Express), he leaves
Antarctica in search of the world's most delicious local dishes and
treats. From Iranian kebabs and Swedish cinnamon pastries, to
Ethiopian injera flatbread and the chewy crispiness of Italian
pizza... can these delightful dishes tempt Plume's friends away
from krill in favour of a truly global smorgasbord? This delightful
picture book is perfect for introducing children (ages 4 and up) to
new foods as Plume seeks out tasty dishes, tempting snacks and
truly authentic local fare from countries around the world.
From amphibians and reptiles to monotremes and pilosa, discover our
world of enchanting fauna in this stunning, illustrated book,
Wildlife Compendium of the World by Tania McCartney. Divided by
continent, and with a handy map opener, you can explore some of the
wildest, weirdest and cutest animals that call Earth home. Each
animal profile includes the Latin name, type, diet, size, weight,
conservation status, curious facts about the species, and the
collective noun or baby name for that animal. Meet a slug that
resembles a banana and a fuzzball mammal with 90 strands of hair
per follicle. Marvel at an ant that burns like fire, a
pig-beaver-hippo-cow-camel hybrid that eats its own poop, and a
creature with the shortest lifespan on Earth (five minutes!).
Discover that a group of bears is called a sloth and a baby lizard
is called a hatchling. Wildlife Compendium of the World also
features sections on animal types and environments, animal rights,
a word glossary and the conservation status of each animal. With a
lustrous textured cover, this book is a wonderful resource and the
perfect gift for children and adults alike.
Hitch a ride on the Albatross Express and travel the globe with
Plume: World Explorer. This exciting new picture book series for
little ones celebrates culture, diversity and the natural wonders
of our world. Plume is not your typical Antarctic penguin. Sporting
a bright yellow plume on the top of his head, Plume is bored of
black and white, of shuffling around and snoozing on icebergs. He
much prefers to cook, read, knit and sky dive. He craves colour,
adventure, excitement! He wants to seize the world he's discovered
in the books of his fantastical, glacier library (the largest in
the Southern Hemisphere). Plume's great hope is to grow the hearts
and minds of his penguin friends. Through his travels, children
will engage with themes such as friendship, acceptance,
understanding and the wellbeing of our planet. Plume: World
Explorer is truly a book series for our times. For ages 4-7 years.
