There are funny little dialogue bubbles as if the plants are talking, and it’s so cute!

Great way to introduce children to the world of plants!" —NetGalley-Educator"My children loved this book, and I learned something, too!

I highly recommend this book for kids to learn about and delight in the natural world!" —NetGalley-Reviewer"I loved how this book was rich in vocabulary, chock full of information, but also had a comic-like narration going on throughout the pages. This would be a great book for a science class to use on plant life. I will recommend it to my teaching team. Students could also use this as a mentor text to create their own simplified books to teach others about a concept." —NetGalley-Educator"Kids will enjoy peeking at what’s underneath in this lift-the-flap board book. Cute illustrations show plants and insects talking while the text explains how they communicate. Plants can send signals through their roots, or change their scent to warn of danger, changes, to show emotion, or to become more appealing to bees for pollination. Some signals result in a toxic substance in their leaves, making them taste bad so bugs will stop eating them. Sometimes plants might lose their petals and leaves or droop to save energy in case they need to fight for their lives. It’s a fun take on the language of plants, making it easy for children to understand." —Vicky Tandy, Athol Public Library, Athol, MA"Certainly a unique way to show how plants “feed” off each other. [. . .] This is a prime example of how society works too. Great book for older kids to further understand how indoor and outdoor vegetation operate." —Goodreads/Netgalley-Librarian"I love board books that are also interactive. It keeps the little ones even more engaged while reading. This very adorable books teaches kids how plants talk (even though we can’t hear them). They interact through their roots, can give off different scents, have different movements (like drooping). I think I learned a thing or two because I have the opposite of a green thumb." —Nura's Little Library IG"This was a quick and informative book. It gives a quick introduction to the different abilities that plants have for communication between each other and the world around them." —Morgan Frazier, Librarian"Kids will enjoy peeking at what’s underneath in this lift-the-flap board book.

Our kids will love this comic book style informative book about cats! Well done!" ―Joni H, Educator "Atlas of Cats is a fun and interesting non-fiction book for young cat lovers! The book covers many different breeds of cat and what makes them unique. There are also some fun features such as "Meow News" articles, world records and lots of funny and interesting pictures. Some of the non-fiction text features include: text boxes, diagrams, lists, legends, charts/tables, arrows, labels, bold text and headings. The fonts, pictures and random facts will definitely keep the interest of young readers. While there is a lot of text on each page and over 100 pages, I think that some children would enjoy looking at the pictures or reading this book with a friend or family member. I think this book would be best suited for children in the 8-11 range, but some younger or older kids may enjoy it as well." ―Angie k, Educator "This is an amazing book for cat lovers - I like a cat but this is for the tier of people who like a cat more than me! Tons of info for the serious enthusiast." ―Elizabeth S, Bookseller "I have always been a cat lover. I have had several cats in my life and I have loved them all so much. One of my cats was even a life saver for me. I had epilepsy and when I would have seizures my cat would run and jump on my parents and meow constantly until they came to check on me. Cat's are so amazing. They are smart, beautiful, perfect comic relief, and so sweet and sassy. If you love cats like I do then you will love this adorable book. It tells all about different kinds of cats. It does a wonderful job explaining the different cats personalities, what they look like, including different color variations, the different facial expressions and tail movements they have and the life expectancy of the cats. The illustrations are adorable and colorful. This is the perfect book for cat lovers of all ages." ―Whitney H, Reviewer"This book is absolutely adorable. Any cat lover kid will dig this up! The illustrations are adorable, the breed information is accurate along with a lot of other informative tidbits. I really enjoyed the meow news sections talking about famous cats too.

Albatros nakladatelstvi as Where Kids Go to School Around the World
Book SynopsisIn this book we visit 15 schools in various corners of the world to see how kids learn in different countries or cultures. Kids go to school all around the world, but the types of schools or the school systems vary from place to place. Would you like to see where kids in Japan or in Himalayas go to school? Would you like to know how a school on a boat works? Or what a school in a rainforest looks like? This book will show you that while some schools are pretty similar to what you know, others can be completely different and surprising. In each chapter a local kid poses as a guide who introduces us to the type of school or a school system of a certain country or culture. Kids will learn that every nation has its own way of learning and that difference is what makes each culture special.Trade ReviewSelected for the CBC’s 2023 June Hot Off The Press Reading List (https://www.cbcbooks.org/cbc-book-lists/june-2023/). "The book is educational and even surprising at times. Each chapter has stationed a local child guide and narrator to describe what their specific school is like making the book relatable and friendly to the reader. This delightful book is a celebration of education and I highly recommend it!" —Storywraps"This fascinating book gives children an inside look at schools around the world, from Australia to Uganda, including their main features (conservation of nature is essential when you go to school in the rainforest) and the role of teachers (teachers are also coaches as a sports school). A fun way to build empathy and curiosity about the lives of children around the world, as well as to give children a fresh perspective on their own unique schooling." —All Done Monkey "Sekaninova brings readers to schools around the world to see how children learn. Each page spread shows a location in a central illustration. Short blurbs (paragraphs) surround this illustration with various pieces of information shared from a student's view. Each is numbered to match something in the drawing so readers have both the text and a visual to learn from. Well written for students and families to learn together." —Netgalley-Librarian"I really like the idea of this book! There are many great details about schooling around the world. It is a great resource to see how we are alike and how we are different. I enjoyed the layout on each page and the illustrations." —Netgalley-Educator "I give Where Kids Go to School Around the World five out of five stars!" —NetGalley-Reviewer "The authors made some very thoughtful and unusual choices in the fifteen schools presented here. The format is interesting and an adult and a child reading it together could have many conversations based on each school. The information is presented well and the illustrations are lovely. It's also the kind of book that could pull in a reluctant reader and for this reason, I believe it would be a solid addition to any school classroom library. Additionally, it would be a good book for a family considering a move so that children could see how different one school can be from the next." —NetGalley-Reviewer "This is such a great concept for a book! Explore schools not just around the world, but in special circumstances. My family especially enjoyed learning about school on a boat, in a refugee camp, and in the rainforest. Each two-page spread shows an illustrated classroom and has about 10 paragraphs highlighting the unique attributes of that particular school. We all learned a lot and look forward to implementing some of the ideas into our own homeschool curriculum!" —NetGalley-Reviewer"This book was a fun adventure around the world and a great look into the daily lives of school kids. I didn’t realize there were so many alternatives to regular schooling. From sports schools, to monks training up in the mountains, to children in hospitals and refugee camps. This book truly covered a wide variety of learning institutions around the world. One thing that stood out to me is that so many of us during the pandemic got to experience first-hand what it is like for kids in the Australian Outback to learn remotely. I particularly enjoyed learning about the schools on boats in Bangladesh. That is such a cool concept and it even has a floating playground!" —NetGalley-Reviewer"There are so many differences and lots of similarities as well among the vast variety of schools throughout the world. Learning more about what each offers and how they work will only serve to enhance one’s knowledge of the world and its many people and cultures." —Beth Rodgers, YA Books Central"I really loved the design of this book and the way the information is broken up into small paragraphs for easy reading. The illustrations are really cute and colorful. It’s so fun to learn about all these different modes of education around the world!" —Luminous Libro Blog"The authors have included fifteen different kinds of schools in many different places. The writing is friendly and conversational. Every spread has a different school with several blocks of text covering different aspects of the school arranged around a central illustration, showing children in the particular school setting. The illustrations are bright and inviting with plenty of details to keep youngsters engaged." —Rosi Hollinbeck, San Francisco Book Review
