A mighty European oak stands lush and green in summer but leafless in winter. The Arctic transforms from midnight sun to midday darkness, while the rivers of Alaska flow wildly until freezing solid in winter. An Australian mangrove teems with land animals one season, and fish the next. In China’s Yellow Dragon Valley, the colours change from white to green and gold, and on the plains of the Kenyan Maasai Mara, battles of life and death are fought and won in seasons wet and dry.
Youngsters will love seeing the seasons bring drama across
the globe, and with simple facts about the wildlife and plants that are
constantly changing, this is the perfect book to make learning both fun and
visual.

magical way to learn about the moon and its many phases.

and expressive artwork. The perfect way to shine a light on our amazing moon!
