Publisher: Franklin Watts

This book describes how the Vikings invaded and conquered much of Britain, and voyaged far and wide. Viking longships, raids and fighting style are all explored, alongside their beliefs and ways of life, to build up a true picture of these most famous invaders. The book concludes with a look at the Vikings’ legacy in Britain today.

Illustrated with a mix of illustrations and found objects, each book in the series describes a famous civilisation, its customs and organisations, how it began and expanded, and its eventual decline.

A colourful and easy-to-read guide to what bullying is and how it can be dealt with. This accessible non-fiction text includes plenty of advice about what you might choose to do if you encounter bullying. Through a series of case studies, pupils can build up a picture of bullying in its various forms, leaving plenty of space for classroom discussions about the choices faced by the characters involved in each case.

We love information texts with interactive elements and this one does not disappoint! The book explores the five senses and what each sense is for using fun characters, bright illustrations and simple infographics. When you hold up certain pages to the light (or shine a torch through), extra details are revealed. This book, along with the other book in the series Atchoo! How We Catch A Cold available from Amazon, would make a great addition to classroom libraries in Early Years and KS1.
