HarperCollins Publishers Odd Science – Brilliant Bodies
Book SynopsisOdd Science: Brilliant Bodies is filled with wacky facts that you’ve never heard before. Read about how ice cream gives you brain freeze, wonder at how much information your brain can process and tell your friends that a whole tonne of air is always pressing down on you. A full head of human hair is strong enough to support up to 12 tons in weight. Microglia are brain cells that trim/eat long synapses of material that no longer functions throughout the brain. Scientists have used the video game Pac-Man to explain this process. There are facts about breathing underwater, facts about pineapple ‘eating’ you (while you eat it) and facts about how music makes you feel good. James Olstein beautifully illustrates these odd facts in a retro-inspired, quirky style. His designs aren’t meant to be taken literally, but you’ll laugh-out-load when you see a fish swimming in a brain and an elephant on someone’s head! Prepare to laugh, marvel and learn.Trade Review'The illustration style is really unique and makes learning about the body fun ... perfect if you are planning to homeschool. A really fun introduction to the science of our bodies.' * The Reusable Family *'Fantastic series … Full of fascinating facts accompanied by the now trademark gorgeous design and illustration... presents science in a fun and easy to digest format' * The Book Activist *'Between the trivia and the fantastic illustrations, this is the kind of book which hooks the reader and keeps them flicking… A great addition to a series which makes scientific facts fun' * Book Murmuration *'Bite sized fun facts to amaze and amuse!' * Creative Steps *'Fact filled and awesome' * Read it Daddy *'Another amazing picture book, full of facts, wonders and some of the most in incredible aspects of science, as part of his exciting Odd Science series’ * Lancashire Evening Post *

Templar Publishing Creature Features: Dinosaurs
Book SynopsisVibrantly illustrated by Creature Features creator Natasha Durley, this is a dinosaur book with a difference. Each page is bursting with unusual creatures from the time of the dinosaurs, all united by a common characteristic. From long necks to terrific teeth, and from tyrannosaurs to ancient turtles, this eclectic collection of species celebrates the diversity of the dinosaurs and the animals they lived alongside. And with something to look for on every page, it's guaranteed to inspire and fascinate young dinosaur lovers.Trade ReviewMillions of years ago, dinosaurs roamed the Earth. This fantastic visual guide shows dinosaurs of all shapes and sizes - horned ones and beaky ones and dinosaurs with long necks.Each section has an introduction which explains what specific characteristics were for. Beaks, for example, were useful for snipping leaves, spearing fish and cracking open nuts. The double page spreads are largely visual, making this a catalogue of dinosaurs. It would be perfect for flicking through and finding a favourite. The dinosaurs are named and it would be a wonderful resource for enthusiasts to learn names and test their memories. The illustrations use a wonderful range of colours which stand out against single colour backgrounds. The use of shape is inventive and the book is a lovely starting point for anyone wanting to draw dinosaurs. Although the book has board pages, it is not exclusively for tiny readers. It could be enjoyed by anyone aged two upwards. As this is a visual guide, I can imagine readers flicking backwards and forwards through the pages, and the more durable material means the pages won't wear about with heavy use. A ROARsome visual guide which will be loved and examined by young dinosaur enthusiasts. * Book Murmuration *This book stands out from the plethora of books about dinosaurs with its vibrantly coloured illustrations and unusual approach to categorising these creatures, which help children see them from a different perspective. Each page shows dinosaurs united by a common characteristic - humongous horns, brilliant beaks and long, long necks are just a few. It's fascinating celebration which celebrates the diversity of the dinosaurs and the animals they lived alongside, with many new creatures being introduced which will not be familiar to children. Children's attention will be held as they answer the spotting questions on each page of this stylishly illustrated book, which is beautifully laid out and presented. * Parents in Touch *

Book SynopsisPacked with joyful and educational art experiences for kids, Play, Make, Create offers fun and engaging imaginative activities focused on the fun and reward of creating, not just producing a final project. Founded in a process-based philosophy, this unique book includes more than 40 activities set up as invitations, or thoughtfully designed prompts to explore, create, and play. Author Meri Cherry has more than 20 years of teaching experience, and her blog (mericherry.com) has set the standard for meaningful and enriching process art experiences that are both manageable for parents, and appealing and fun for kids.Play, Make, Create begins with a guide for parents, teachers, and facilitators that discusses how to set up materials in an inviting way, how to present an activity and talk to kids about art, and how to stock the right materials for ongoing creativity. Also included are best-practice tips for clean-up, answers to frequently asked questions, and more. The book offers four types of creative invitations: Invitations to Explore (easy ideas for fun and play), Invitations to Create (open-ended, craft-based activities), Invitations to Play (sensory-based activities), and Big Projects (ongoing process-art activities). Most feature basic materials and tools (paper, inexpensive paints, pencils, glue) that require little setup. Among the projects and activities you’ll find: A collage project that takes a no-rules approach to creating with cut-out drawings and pictures. Ideas for building a science station that allow kids to experiment with kitchen cabinet supplies such as soap, measuring spoons, cotton balls, and baking soda. A prompt to draw a self-portrait, using a mirror (parents can draw themselves, too). Instructions for making homemade colored playdough. The activities in Play, Make, Create promote active, meaningful, and socially interactive learning. Children are encouraged to wonder, experiment, and use critical thinking—and most of all, enjoy the process. By following their own inclinations and making their own choices, children gain self-confidence and hone their problem-solving skills. Get Play, Make, Create and give children the gift of creativity!
