Brought to you from the Parisian boutique of Adeline Klam, this book is full of beautiful designs, fun toys, useful tips and paper surprises of every shape and size.Trade ReviewFlowers, dinosaurs, Father Christmas – you name it, this book has it! In Simple Origami, author Adeline Klam teaches you how to craft a whole host of objects and animals with just paper and your two hands. If you're a visual learner, you're in luck. The book features photographic step-by-step instructions as well as detailed illustrations to show you exactly where to place your hands at every step of the process. Simply follow the diagrams and watch origami creations of all kinds come to life at your fingertips. * Crafts Beautiful *This is origami at its most simple, with a special focus on step-by-step photos and instructions. There are over 50 projects, each given a difficulty rating, so simply follow the diagrams and watch origami creations come to life at your fingertips. * Machine Knitting Monthly, January 2023 *Brilliantly simple to follow! I bought this book, I am not a crafter, but I will be able to follow the simple instructions and be the best auntie and grandma - just a fabulous book. * Customer Review *Any crafter who has tried origami knows not to assume that the simple folding of paper is really simple. For this collection of over 50 origami flowers, animals, and decorative objects, Klam launches right into her very detailed projects without first specifying the types of paper and other materials crafters will need. Aside from that missing information upfront, project directions are remarkably clear. From a simple windmill to a horse, heart, or elephant, each design includes different sizes, which will help determine what size paper is needed. Also included are level of difficulty; tips, such as using felt tip pens to personalize rabbit faces and for projects destined to be coasters or party invitations; and crucial step-by-step diagrams. Pure child’s and adult’s play for patient hands. -- Barbara Jacobs * Booklist, November issue *Table of ContentsContents The Simple Boat 12, The Coaster 14, The Accordion Butterfly 16, The Christmas Wreath 18, The Cat Puppet 20, The Rabbit 22, The Sakura Flower 26, The Flower 28, The Star 32, The Simple Frog 36, The Simple Crab 40, The Swallow 42, The Two Dogs 46, The Lion 50, The Butterfly 54, The Moth 58, The Cube 62, The Swan 66, The Chickadee 70, The Simple Crane 74, The Moorhen 78, The Shell 82, The Tropical Fish 86, The Little Boat 90, The Goldfish 94, The Sailing Boat 98, The Whale 102, The Pig 106, The Rosette 110, The House 114, The Rocket 118, The Crane 122, The Sea Lion 128, The Goldfish 134, The Penguin 138, The Lotus 144, The Dandelion 148, The Plum Blossom 152, The Dinosaur 156, The Crab 160, The Spinning Top 166, The Jumping Frog 172, The Horse 178, The Heart 182, The Medal 188, Father Christmas 192, The Fir Tree 196, The Elephant 200, The Camellia 204, The Little Bell 212, The Windmill 216

Andersen Press Ltd Wolf in the Snow
Book SynopsisWinner of the 2018 Caldecott Medal A girl is lost in a snowstorm. A wolf cub is lost, too. How will they find their way home? Pictures rich with feeling tell this satisfying story of friendship and trust. Here is a book set on a wintry night that will spark imaginations and warm hearts, from award-winning author and illustrator Matthew Cordell. "Beautifully paced....ultimately reassuring." Wall Street Journal "Caught in a blizzard on her way home from school, a girl in a red parka discovers a wolf pup left behind by its pack. Cordell's story is wordless, but there's a soundtrack: the cub whines, and distant howls reveal the pack's presence over the next hill. The girl's story is a hero's journey, and Cordell tells it with skill and heart." Publishers Weekly, starred reviewTrade Review"Beautiful" * Daily Mail *"A clever tale of trust and friendship and a joy to share" * Irish Independent, Children's Books of the Year *"A near-wordless story of kindness repaid.... What distinguishes this book are the many feelings that Cordell's pen-and-ink-with-watercolor illustrations capture so well - cold, fear, courage, exhaustion, relief - keeping readers hooked to the end. Deeply satisfying." * Kirkus, Starred review *"Cordell’s pen-and-ink illustrations balance detail and emotion...The setting is brought to life through changing sky colors, cold breaths, and extensive snowscapes in watercolors. The handlettered, inky text, wordless except for sound effects, supports the cinematic feel created through the use of varying perspectives and loosely demarcated panels. Suspenseful page-turns and aerial views on double-page spreads keep readers worrying about the protagonist until the very end, when the family is shown by the fireside with steamy mugs and pet dog?a cozy contrast to the fraught outdoor adventure." * Horn Book, starred review *"A stunning near wordless picture book which will inspire the story teller in all of its readers... a quite different and hugely heart-warming drama about trust and friendship." * LoveReading4Kids, December 2019 Book of the Month *

Sort of Books Comet in Moominland
Book SynopsisComet in Moominland, the first full-length Moomin novel, was published 80 years ago. Tove revised the story a decade later and again in 1968, reframing adventures (and adding new characters). Now for the first time this edition can be read in English, in a brand new translation. Tove Jansson's story of a mysterious, threatening comet, and the journey of discovery by Moomin and his friend Sniff across the Lonely Mountains, has captivated generations of readers across the world. The story introduced much-loved Moomin characters, including free-spirited Snufkin, the philosophical Muskrat, the intuitive Snorkmaiden, obsessional Hemulens and strange Hattifatteners. Tove Jansson wrote her story in 1946 and its themes evoke both the threats and devastation of war and a determination to have fun whatever. Or as Snorkmaiden observes, 'We began talking about dancing. Suddenly you started talking about the comet. I'm still talking about dancing.'

Abrams Ada Twist Scientist
Book SynopsisA story of the power of curiosity in the hands of a child on a mission to use science to understand her worldTrade Review"Ada Twist is my hero. She’s a smart, curious young girl who doesn’t talk unless she’s got something clever to say, and she thinks like a scientist – always wanting to find out the truth for herself rather than accept someone else’s say so. Plus, she wreaks havoc with her hair-brained experiments. I cannot stress strongly enough that this is not a book only for girls. A New York Times bestseller, from a series by Andrea Beaty and David Roberts that also includes Iggy Peck, Architect and Rosie Revere, Engineer, it is a great book for all pre-schoolers that happens to promote the revolutionary notion that women can do science." Independent.co.uk "A smart, funny, and gorgeously designed picture book that offers a brilliant role-model for kids in Ada." Buzzfeed 'Ada Marie Twist is a true little rebel and, like the pioneering scientists she is named after (Marie Curie and Ada Lovelace), a fantastic feminist role model.' Books for Keeps 'Written in playful rhyming verse, it's joyfully illustrated by the genius of David Roberts.' Huffington Post 'David Roberts provides plenty of visual humour as a backdrop to this kick-ass story of a young girl with a determined spirit and a thirst for knowledge. There aren't many storybooks around for little future scientists, but this is the book that I wanted to show my nieces so that they could learn that, whatever their ambitions, curiosity can lead them forward.' Lounge Books 'Ada Twist, Scientist is the worthy winner of the KSl category in this year's Teach Primary New Children's Fiction Awards, featuring Andrea Beatty's fizzy and joyful rhyming narrative, and an opportunity for keen-eyed youngsters to spot evidence cleverly placed in David Roberts' illustrations that even Ada herself has yet to discover.' --Teach Primary magazine "The endlessly inquisitive heroine of this brilliant picture book seeks to discover the answers to these questions and more! The rollicking rhyming text is as energetic as Ada herself, and the illustrations are packed with ingeniously entertaining detail courtesy of none other than long-time friend of Scoop, David Roberts." Scoop 'Ada Twist, Scientist is the tale of a persistently curious young girl in this brilliant picture book, written by Andrea Beaty and illustrated by David Roberts [...] This is definitely one of my favourite children's books of 2016. I think you'll be hard pressed to find a more satisfying example of a picture book to enjoy' --Sam Hearn, author 'This is a beautifully illustrated rhyming story about a family learning to support a child's curiosity. Ada is a likeable character who has all the traits of a great scientist. The book responds well to the call for greater representation of girls and diversity in STEM subjects and industries (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). Indeed Andrea Beaty says she took her inspiration from Ada Lovelace, the mathematician and very first computer programmer, and Marie Curie, who discovered the elements polonium and radium, whose work led to the invention of X-rays. The book is fun to read and should inspire children to follow their passions.' The English Association ' 'Ada Twist is a stereotype-smashing tale which celebrates the power of curiosity and scientific enquiry.' --The Little Rebels Children's Book Award
