Gecko Press The Observologist: A handbook for mounting very
Book SynopsisA highly illustrated, playful field guide for budding natural scientists and curious observers of the world right under our noses. Observology is the study of looking. An observologist makes scientific expeditions, albeit very small ones, every day. They notice interesting details in the world around them. They are expert at finding tiny creatures, plants and fungi. They know that water snails glide upside down on the undersurface of the water; not all flies have wings; earthworms have bristles; butterflies taste with their feet. An observologist knows that there are extraordinary things to be found in even the most ordinary places. The Observologist puts over 100 small creatures and features of the natural world under the microscope, piquing our curiosity with only the most interesting facts. Subjects range from slugs, ants and seeds, fungi and flies through to bees and bird poop. But this is no everyday catalogue of creatures. It is an antidote to boredom, an invitation out of the digital world and screentime, an encouragement to observe our environment, with care and curiosity, wherever we are. Facts combine with comics, detailed illustrations, science and funny stories in this unique, warm and fascinating account of the small things all around us. Graphic and comic illustrations with funny talking insects make this a playful and informative book for 7- to 11-year-olds and one to be treasured in the classroom. Giselle Clarkson has a comics and conservation background. Through her unique sensibility you’ll find that once you start thinking small, there’s no limit to what you can notice—right under your nose.Trade Review"A charming work sure to spark a lifelong habit of looking closely at the natural world." -- Kirkus Reviews, starred review"A magnum opus—Giselle has a great ability to see the world from a child’s perspective." -- Radio New Zealand“The ultimate boredom-buster and a wholesome antidote to the digital world…teaches young readers to embrace curiosity, show patience and care for their environment in unexpected ways.”"A brilliant blend of factual and hilarious." -- Centre for Literacy in Primary Education, UK"A carefully curated museum for all ages." -- The Sapling, New Zealand"All-encompassing." -- The Listener, 50 Best Kids' Books of 2023"With lots of useful pieces of information, you can dip in and out and learn something new each time." -- National Library of New Zealand, Best Children's Books of 2023Table of ContentsObservology: The Study of Looking Principles of Observology Preparing for Observology Keeping Things Orderly (Taxonomy) Scientific Names Observological Instruments An Observologist's Introduction to Invertebrates (Anatomy) A Damp Corner Slugs and Snails Fungi Wood lice Centipedes vs Millipedes Ponds and Long-standing Puddles Things to Spot at Night Patience Pavement Ants Birdwatching without Birds Collections Lichen Phenology Droppings and Eggs Worms A Weedy Patch Bees Common Wasp vs Honey Bee Wasps Things to Fiddle With Wet Days Growing Up as an Insect Caterpillars Seeds Notable Leaves Behind the Curtains Cockroaches Flies Aural Observology Spiders Moths Moth vs Butterfly How to Get a Fly to Go Outside How to Hide in Plain Site Save a Worm Sneak Up on a Bug Help an Exhausted Bee Relocate a Spider Save a Moth from Drowning Final Exam Index

Such a book is Melvin Burgess's Junk." -- Robert Dunbar * Children's Books in Ireland *"Personally I prefer the love triangle in Melvin Burgess’s Junk, in which Tar’s devotion to heroin split he and Gemma apart." -- Juno Dawson * Guardian *"This book is beguiling, layered and filled with a boldness that comes with youth." * Gemma Cairney *"Brilliantly and sensitively written, it encompasses the raw, savage and ecstatic world of the adolescent mind... a superbly crafted and important book" * TES *"Beautifully written" * The Times *"Believable and rivetingly readable.

Gecko Press Poo Bum
Book SynopsisSimon is children's favourite cheeky rabbit! Once there was a little rabbit who could only say one thing... In the morning his mother would say, "Time to get up, my little rabbit!" He'd reply: "Poo bum!" At lunchtime his father would say, "Eat your spinach, my little rabbit!" He'd reply: "Poo bum!" One day, he meets a hungry wolf. Will the little rabbit learn his lesson once and for all?Trade ReviewThis book may be a masterpiece. I've read so many children's books that, when one of them stands out, I notice. Poo Bum is simplistic, with no lessons learned. The illustrations are garish and silly. The story consists of a rabbit repeating a scatological phrase. But, you know what? It made me laugh. I can totally see this being a favourite of little kids, thanks to its hilarious absurdity. -- The Ladybug ReadsThe illustrations are colourful, bold and simple. The repetitive words "Poo Bum!" will have kids engaged and participating with the text. They will want to go back again and again to enjoy this irreverent book of toilet humour. The book is so fun and I highly recommend it. -- Baby Bookworms"Likely to stop even non-bookish kids in their tracks.’ ‘The Best Picture Books for Children" -- The Guardian (UK)"I found it funny. Ten year-old found it funny. Seven-year-old considered it hilarious and 2-year-old laughed because everyone else did. What couldn’t you like about a potty-mouthed rabbit?" -- Sunday Star-Times"Scatological writing doesn’t usually impress me – but the plot of Poo Bum is hilarious. Stephanie Blake is a big seller in France. Find out why." -- The Listener (NZ)I believe that entertainment is an overrated function of art and we should be challenged by what we view and read. -- Simon Pegg
