Author & Illustrators
It’s that time of year when dandelions start to spring up in our lawns, but just how do they get there and why are they so important? This charming and colourful storybook explains the parts of the dandelion plant, the lifecycle of a dandelion and how its seeds disperse.
The illustrations are beautifully colour-themed and support children’s understanding throughout. The initial story is very accessible for children of all ages, but there is further information about the science behind this in the final pages that would support the science curriculum for KS1 and KS2.
A sweet story for the gentlest souls is presented in Usborne’s Twinkly. Twinkly Nativity by Sam Taplin and Róisín Hahessy. This is a board book nativity story that brings out the wow-factor behind the Christmas message of joy and hope, by incorporating real lights into every page.
The Arctic ice is melting and the polar bears need our help. They come to Warmland to explain what’s really going wrong. Luckily they find a group of lively, sparky kids who jump into action and draw up a BRILLIANT PLAN.
