Wild

Product Information

This charming book’s tone is one of wonder at the extraordinary abilities of animals all around us, but it doesn’t shy away from the difficult subject of how humans negatively impact the environment. Beginning with an introduction to what exactly bones are, and the difference between vertebrates and invertebrates, this book takes a look at a range of species, the differences between them, and how their skeletons are adapted for their lives. But what might be an informative and entertaining one-time read is made a real treasure by the beautiful explanatory illustrations. Enjoy a family Christmas singalong with Baroness Floella Benjamin, including favourites such as 'We Wish you a Merry Christmas', 'Jingle Bells' and 'Ding Dong Merrily on High'!

The dietary details can feel a trifle misleading (sun bears don’t only eat honey-related products, surely), but that’s a minor quibble. Truly, it was hard to find a stopping point in terms of the picture books, so I chose to hone in on them and then throw in a handful of easy reader titles at the end. Since evolution has become a popular primary school topic in the UK, a fleet of books on the subject has hit the shelves.

Wild Child by Dara McAnulty - Pan Macmillan

This is a story of nature versus nurture, which can be used to support personal, social and emotional development. A follow up to Some Bugs by the same author-illustrator team, this story in verse is set at a pet show being held at a city park. It isn’t fair to expect greatness from a 15-year-old – let alone from one known to be painfully self-deprecating and burdened with eco-anxiety and existential angst.My daughter was entranced by edible-nest swiftlets building nest-cups with their own spittle, and termites converting their poo into citadels. Left wanting to learn more about these fascinating creatures and all the incredible things they do, there are some practical tips on how to encourage invertebrates into your garden.
