Zombie Worms and Blue Dragons celebrates 100 of the largest, smallest, oldest, newest, most venomous, fearsome, intelligent and sometimes most bizarre forms of life on Earth in a full colour gift book.

A perfect gift for young readers interested in delving deep into the wonders of the natural world and finding answers to their questions. Which poisonous tree can kill you when it rains? How do some snakes shapeshift to fly through forest canopies? Why do some parasite fungi turn their victims into real-life zombies? The natural world is a beautiful and enthralling place, filled with dazzling animals, plants, fungi and a host of other life forms. Illustrated in full colour on every page with fascinating, up to date facts revealing the secret lives of these species and genus.

Jack-Jack, the world’s coolest dog, looks after orphaned chimpanzees in Africa; he’s about to embark on his biggest adventure ever!

I spend my days playing with baby chimps. When I meet Ben, suddenly, I have more baths than ever (previously none). I wave goodbye to my pet fleas,and prepare to fly thousands of miles. I’ve never been on a lead or in a car, so what will an aeroplane be like? T

The first in a new series of four books illustrated in black and white on every spread.
