Baby Koala likes to stay close to Mum as the pair snuggle up together, safe in the treetops. But one day, when danger threatens, Baby Koala must be brave and bold… This heartwarming story about an animal family living in the wild has big flaps to open and koala facts to discover. Readers will love interacting with the big non-fiction flaps, where they can measure their finger against a tiny newborn koala! With a feathertail glider to spot on every page. Amazing Animal Tales is an exciting and innovative new series following baby animals’ incredible stories of survival, with big flaps that can be opened to reveal amazing facts. The books can either be enjoyed with the flaps closed, as an engaging narrative story, or with the flaps open as a combined story and non-fiction experience. Also available: Amazing Animal Tales: Little tiger. Look out for more books coming soon!

If your class is studying lifecycles in science this book will really help you. It’s the story of a tiny tadpole who, as the story progresses, slowly transforms in to a frog. It is set in a rainforest so would also suit topics about habitats. The pictures in the book bring the text alive and are full of detail about the animals and the rainforest. The book also has flaps that you can lift up to explore the information further. At the back of the book, for example, one of the folded-out pages tells you about amphibians and looks at different tropical frogs.

This is a fun book and those interested in animals will love it.

Part of the Maths in the Real World series, this book shows how maths is applied to real life space missions. The book includes charts, infographics, diagrams and other ways to visualise the figures involved, as well as quizzes and mathematical challenges.
