This fun information texts offers a different way in to learning about animals by focussing on the prints and tracks animals leave behind. Each page features a different animal’s paw-, foot- or hoof- print, with a diagram showing its actual size and shape and plenty of accessible and interesting facts about each creature.
This text is an accessible, heavily illustrated and humorous take on life in the Middle Ages and I love the whole Danger Zone series. It will appeal to fans of Horrible Histories and to young readers who will learn without realising that they are learning. An excellent introduction to the topic, enabling children to imagine themselves in a medieval castle.
This humorous non-fiction book is part of the very popular ‘You Wouldn’t Want to Be’ series. The entertaining text gives an insight into what life would have been like as a coal miner in Victorian times. Learn about pit ponies, mining methods, canaries and some top survival tips for coping with the harsh conditions and dangers of work underground.
