Flush It Down: The Story of Sewers Through Time

Any teacher will tell you that one of the most frequently asked questions when on a history based trip will be around how people used to go to the loo! This very human fascination with this very human function is comprehensively covered in this surprisingly interesting book!

Having started with a focus on poo entitled ‘Ew Gross!’ which explains not only what it is, but also why we find it so distasteful, the author moves on to a look at poo through the ages from prehistoric to modern times. Developments in toilet technology across the world are covered as well as the devastating impact of the deadly diseases spread by dirty living conditions.

The book is packed with entertaining illustrations and plenty of word play and puns, adding much humour to the subject. However, more serious issues around the problems of human waste and dealing with these challenges today are also raised with a look at future, more sustainable solutions.

A fun addition to any bookshelf, ‘Flush It Down’ is full of historical and scientific information, allowing readers to discover more about sewers through time!

Amazing Shark: Guardian of the Seas

Beautifully presented with a textured cover and glossy pages, ‘Amazing Shark’ is as stunning as it is informative.

Written in a very engaging, chatty style, the author offers an amazing array of facts and figures explaining the development of sharks and the incredible number of known shark species which scientists group into eight orders. Stunning illustrations accompany the text, on occasions in response to a request from the author (Michele? Could you please draw is a 17cm megalodon tooth here? Thank you!) The author is also keen to ally fears about these incredible creatures, emphasising ways in which humans are a threat to sharks rather than the other way around.

There is an interactive element to the book, encouraging readers to engage fully with the text.

Harriet Tubman: A Force of Nature

Told through poetry and colourful collaged images, ‘Harriet Tubman: A Force of Nature’ is an engaging biography of Harriet Tubman, perfect for introducing children to the life and work of this amazing woman.

The poems are grouped to show the passing years of Harriet’s life. Named at birth Araminta Ross, she was born enslaved and the author conveys the barbarity of this whilst emphasising Harriet’s love of nature and the strength of her family bonds. The strength of her faith as she sought to save and support others is also highlighted.

Offering plenty to discuss and reflect upon, this book would be a useful addition to any library. For English classrooms, however, some background and context on the American Civil War and the treatment of enslaved people in the United States would need to be sensitively given for children to truly understand Harriet’s life and actions. A map at the end of the book and the inclusion of some historical photos along with the author’s notes about her research and a selected bibliography would be very useful to those wishing to learn more.

The book is beautifully presented with engaging illustrations which also offer plenty to think about. Collaged clothing worn by Harriet, her brothers and other slaves has been created using newspaper cuttings advertising slave sales and other information, including one of Harriet’s dresses being created from the reward notice for her and her brothers when they first escaped.

A stunning, thought-provoking book.

Mushrooms and Company

‘A mushroom is a nice detail in a forest, a decorative dwarf under the sturdy wooden giants.’

But, as this fascinating book proves, there is so much more to fungi than this! Crammed with information, it makes an absorbing read.

Translated from Dutch, the book does seem to be aimed at the American market, both in terms of spelling and content; however, this does little to detract from the content. The lively, informal style of delivery is very engaging and sure to fill the reader with a new found enthusiasm for mushroom and other fungi. Divided into seven sections, the book really does cover every aspect of this ‘Marvelously Moldy Network’, explaining just how important mushrooms are to everything! Photographs and cartoon style images mingle with detailed diagrams offer plenty of visual interest to support the text.

The book closes with a section encouraging readers to get out and explore with wonderful world of fungi whilst reminding budding mycologists to leave tasting to the experts!

‘Mushrooms and Company’ is a thoroughly enjoyable and informative read!

University of Cambridge: Build Your Own Solar System

Beautifully presented and packed with information, ‘Build Your Own Solar System’ is another ingenious book from Nosy Crow which engages children through both reading and activity.

Starting with a section entitled ‘What is the Solar System?’, the book offers clear sections of carefully explained text which deepen the reader’s knowledge and understanding of the different planets and features which make up our solar system. Dramatic illustrations illuminate every page, drawing interest and helping to guide the reader to different sections.

In addition to information about the planets, links are made to the gods and goddesses from mythology which gave them their names. Whilst many readers might be familiar with the fact that Venus is named after the Roman goddess of love and beauty, some might be surprised to learn that the tallest active volcano on Venus is named after Ma’at, the Egyptian goddess of balance, truth and justice. The role of key figures in the world of astronomy such as Abd al-Rahman al-Sufi and Galileo are also mentioned, encouraging those interested to find out more.

Perfect for enriching the Y5 Science programme of study of ‘Earth and Space’, the book not only offers a wealth of facts about our solar system, but allows children to create a model of each using the press outs in the end section and arranging them in order, reinforcing the learning from the text.

The Fantastical Safari

‘The Fantastical Safari’ is a stunning book which takes readers on an incredible journey to five of the most remote habitats in the world. The illustrations are stunning, making this a book to treasure for adults and children alike.

The safari travels to the depths of the Marina Trench, along the Greenland Ice Sheet to the Highlands of Papua New Guinea, the Galapagos Islands and then finally to the Tenere region of the Sahara Desert. Each location is carefully introduced with its terrain and climate described before exploring the creatures which live there and how they have adapted to survive in those conditions.

Perfect for enriching and adding interest to the science curriculum, the book supports many of the things which children should be taught in the Living Things and their Habitats and Evolution and Inheritance strands. Beautiful books like this one enhance the subject, encouraging children to value them. The Galapagos Islands are often chosen as a focus for learning in geography- location, physical features, mapping skills etc- and this book encourages them to look both at and beyond this to develop their knowledge and understanding of the world.

Both beautiful and fascinating, this is a book to treasure!

Thank You, Old Oak

After 400 years, Old Oak finally falls to the forest floor. Creatures gather to give thanks for the many ways in which she helped them whilst she was standing. But, even now, Old Oak contributes to life in the forest in a variety of ways.

‘Thank You, Old Oak’ is a wonderful book, written in celebration of these incredible trees and shares much about the role they play in a forest ecosystem. The personification of Old Oak engages readers, encouraging them to empathise as her long life comes to an end and she is mourned by all the creatures who have benefitted from her presence over the years.

Although many of the animals and birds who gather round the fallen oak will be known to UK readers, some will be less familiar, encouraging discussion about native and non-native species as well as the importance of oak trees around the world.

The story ends on a note of joy as Old Oak’s legacy- healthy oak seedlings- are beginning to grow. Factual information about oak trees and how to read tree rings is included at the end of the book which will hopefully spark children’s interest and encourage them to learn more about these incredible trees. It would make an excellent book to share with a KS1 class with its colourful, collaged illustrations sure to engage and add to their enjoyment of the story.

Soup’s On Around the World

Like its companion ‘Teatime Around the World’, ‘Soup’s On’ is a tasty treat, exploring the different ways people enjoy this savoury staple around the world.

Simple rhyming text leads the reader from page to page whilst additional details are given about soups which are enjoyed in different countries and the traditions associated with them. Where appropriate, the name of the soup is given in the language of the country it is connected to along with details of its ingredients, how and when it is eaten. There is plenty here to spark interest and, hopefully, encourage some taste testing as well as inspiring children to appreciate the similarities and celebrate the differences surrounding something as simple as a bowl of soup.

Colourful illustrations add plenty of interest and both the author and the illustrator share their favourite soup recipes at the end of the book with a note explaining the reasons they are so fond of it. This might inspire families to start their own book of soup recipe book where they might collect favourite soups of friends and relations, perhaps encouraging them to experiment with ingredients and creating dishes to their own taste!

Seeds: Nature’s Intrepid Miracles

‘Seeds’ is one of those books which encourages readers to pause and reflect upon the beauties of nature, allowing time to notice and appreciate these often tiny objects. Highlighting their incredible diversity, it focuses on nearly 150 seeds from across the world.

The illustrations are simply stunning, each one a work of art. Arranged in sections which reflect how they are dispersed, each seed is given a page of its own which offers information beneath the illustration. The binomial classification for each plant is given in the top corner of each page and a ‘multiplied by’ is given to indicate the seeds original size.

Some of the language is a little ‘flowery’ (no pun intended!), but this adds to the book’s charm, using some quirky and poetic vocabulary! The book concludes with information about the Svalbard Global Seed Vault and some record breaking details. Both a detailed index and a section called ‘Some Shortcuts’ make it easy to locate specific seeds, but this is a book to be browsed and enjoyed at leisure!

Shoes! A Footwear Fashion Frolic

With the Shoemakers’ Museum in Street, Somerset due to reopen, ‘Shoes! A Footwear Fashion Frolic’ seems like the perfect book to read before a visit!

In the opening chapter, ‘Shoes! (and why we love them) explores the perennial appeal of footwear before looking at early shoes from around the world and then those favoured in the Victorian era, including the first pair of boots with an elastic side gusset, presented to Queen Victoria in 1937. The anatomy of a shoe, different types of heels and some of the ‘classic’ shoe styles are shown all accompanied by colourful illustrations.

Chapter Two introduces the reader to shoe design across the 20th century, showing the influence of social and historical events on this. The popularity of celebrities such as Josephine Baker and Madonna and crazes like ‘Egyptomania’ altered the styles available as the decades passed and these evolutions are explained.

‘Spotlights’ on significant designers and styles are scattered throughout, giving more detail about key figures such as Coco Chanel and Mary Quant and fashions like Desert Boots and Crocs. Adults are sure to enjoy this every bit as much as their children, perhaps laughing at foolish fashion choices of days gone by or longing for their return!

Chapter Three is devoted to the history of ‘sneakers’, from early designs to the possibilities of their future design! The rivalries and marketing strategies of companies are also explored, making for a fascinating read. The book concludes by posing the question - what’s next in shoe design?- offering inspiration and encouragement to any aspiring shoe creators of the future!

Great fun!

Small, Shiny Dung Beetle

The latest in the ‘Start Small, Think Big’ series focuses on the fascinating life of the dung beetle, Garreta nitens. Perfect for sparking the curiosity of young readers, a great deal of information is packed into this attractive book in a very accessible and engaging way.

Each page begins with a direct narrative from the female dung beetle who tells her story. Presented in bold type it highlights a key event which is then expanded on below, allowing newly confident readers to share the reading and learning experience as necessary. More confident - or perhaps older- readers can then discover more by reading further captions and labels. Attractive, colourful illustrations accompany the text and are full of details to enjoy.

Through looking at the example of the dung beetle, the book covers areas of the science curriculum such as life cycles, food chains and habitats, enriching learning through offering a different example to those children might usually be presented with- the caterpillar, butterfly, frog etc. The vital role of the dung beetle in their ecosystem is also explored and reference is made to the ancient Egyptian belief about Khepri, the god often depicted as a dung beetle, pushing the sun across the sky as a dung beetle pushes its ball of dung.

As with the other titles in this series, the book ends with a fold out poster, summarising much of the information and showing a map of Africa. This also includes a ‘Serengeti I-Spy’, with animals for children to hunt for, encouraging children to further engage with their reading and look closely. Beautifully presented, the book is designed to withstand repeated readings and would make an excellent addition to any bookshelf, not only for KS1, but also offering support to older children who are less confident readers.

Tales of Ghosts and Hauntings

Posing the question, ‘Do ghosts really exit?, ‘Tales of Ghosts and Hauntings’ contains six gripping mysteries to investigate. Challenging the reader to consider the evidence and come to their own conclusions, this book is every bit as engaging as ‘Tales of Scary Beasts’ by the same author/ illustrator team, both excellent for promoting non-fiction’s role in reading for pleasure.

Each mystery is presented in an engaging and accessible manner, with key vocabulary clearly explained to support the reader’s comprehension. Eye witness quotes are included and the dates of events are clearly indicated as the evidence in each case is gathered. This is followed by a ‘Let’s Investigate’ section which gathers the key points together to support the reader in coming to their own conclusion.

The range of mysteries included ensures that there is something here to pique the curiosity of everyone. ‘Palace Phantoms’ investigates strange happenings at Hampton Court Palace.

A World of Cats

I love most animals, but I have always been fascinated by felines and have shared my home - and my heart- with many cats over the years. In her introduction, Carlie Sorosiak says her first word was ‘kitty’; mine was ‘Sarah’ (or an approximation!), the name of our blue-cream Persian!

‘A World of Cats’ is perfect for cat-lovers like me, but also makes an absorbing read for anyone! Starting with the development of cats as we know them today, the book then considers the similarities and differences between big cats like lions with house cats. After a look at how they became domesticated, the book explores all aspects of a cat’s life and habits. The information is presented in a light-hearted, chatty style, making it accessible and easy to read as well as engaging!

Celebrating cats in history, the book looks at their role in ancient Egypt and tales of cats from the past as well as their place in the present- including Larry, the Chief Mouser of Number 10 Downing Street! There is so much to discover and enjoy about our feline friends and the contributions they make to our daily lives.

Advice on careers with cats will offer inspiration whilst guidance about what to do if you should find a stray cat or if you feel you could offer a cat a ‘forever home’ will help readers to care for any cats they might come across. A treasure trove of cat facts, stories, advice and information, ‘A World of Cats’ is essential reading!

The Incredible Pop-Up Frog and other wetland creatures

Beautifully presented and bursting with information, ‘The Incredible Pop-Up Frog and other wetland creatures’ is an absorbing read, with plenty of interactive elements to keep readers engaged.

A mixture of pop-ups, wheels, flaps to lift and tabs to pull allow readers to explore different wetland environments and the creatures which live there. Headings and side headings help readers to locate information which is presented in clearly written, well explained sections. This is one of those books which really has no upper age limit- there is plenty to fascinate everyone.

Teachers could take inspiration from the way food chains have been presented using a wheel which turns to show these links in five different locations, perhaps inspiring children to create their own in this way. Similarly, creating a fold out diagram like the one showing the life cycle of a frog is a far more appealing way of presenting this information than a simple drawing. There is plenty of information here which extends beyond the confines of the science curriculum, developing children’s knowledge and understanding in a very visual way.

As well as focusing in on different locations from around the world and allowing readers to compare and contrast these, the book offers information about the different depth zones- the surface, the middle and the bottom of watery locations. The final page encourages readers to try creating their own wetland environment, something which could be done at home or at school and offer the opportunity for children to work scientifically, carefully observing nature and enjoying the benefits such activities can bring.

Nature Heroes

‘Nature Heroes’ is a collection of twenty biographies of dedicated people who are working with nature to save the world. It is an inspiring read which offers plenty to think about and plenty to discuss.

Some of those included are sure to be familiar to children. Chris Packham, for example, is a well-known name, but readers are sure to be amazed to learn more about this famous presenter and how his passion for wild animals has led him to where he is today. Another name which might be quickly recognised is wildlife cameraman, Hamza Yassin, who won Strictly Come Dancing.

Other biographies may well introduce readers to the story of someone they are less familiar with. I loved Ron Finley’s story which may well inspire others to create urban gardens and become Gangsta Gardeners! Other stories are equally fascinating and many are deeply poignant. The plight of pangolins and Thai Van Nguyen’s mission to save them is one such! Each biography allows the reader to discover more about the lives and work of those championing wildlife in different ways, but each with passion and determination which is admirable and inspiring.

Although packed with information, each biography is short enough to be used for a class story time or guided reading session, sure to generate plenty of discussion and stimulate lots of thinking whilst enriching the curriculum. More ‘Nature Heroes’ are referred to in the author’s conclusion, offering plenty of possibilities for research and hopefully, encouraging children to get involved and find out more about any nature projects on their own doorsteps, following their curiosity and seeing where it leads as Peggy Eby (one of the subjects of the book) thinks everyone should!

The Whale’s Song: Discover the Giants of our Oceans

Full of beautiful illustrations and carefully explained, engaging information, ‘The Whale’s Song’ is perfect for sparking curiosity about the oceans and the incredible creatures which inhabit them.

The book opens by suggesting that the Earth should, in fact, be called ‘the Sea’ as 70% of the planet’s surface is covered with water. With an explanation as to why this is mostly salt water, the author then explores water came to Earth, why we see the sea as blue and factors which affect this. Having set the scene in this way, cetaceans are then introduced and details about these fascinating creatures are shared through both text and illustration.

So much information is packed into this absorbing book! The author’s interest and enthusiasm for their subject is infectious and it is impossible to read this without being completely absorbed into the subject. Readers who love lots of detail will really appreciate the full, careful explanations given whilst those who prefer to skim and select their facts will be drawn to the fact boxes and sections of coloured text. Either way, there is a huge amount to learn here!

Information about whaling and the awful impact this had- and still has- on whales is included and the negative affect of the marine park entertainment industry is also discussed. The book concludes with information from the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) showing which species are most at risk.

A section on myths and legends surrounding whales shows how these creatures have inspired people across the world. Each section is full of stunning illustrations, making the book a real joy to explore. Even the end papers are used to show the different species of whales, giving an idea of their comparative sizes. Perfect for enriching the school curriculum or enjoying anywhere, this is an absolute joy of a book.

Bugs! Bugs! Bugs!

‘Bugs! Bugs! Bugs!’ is the latest title from the brilliant team of Susan Martineau and Vicky Barker. Full of fascinating facts, this is the perfect book for every entomophile- and even those less keen on our insect friends!

Children are fascinated by ‘creepy crawlies’ and studying them is often a popular topic in schools, capturing curiosity and enthusiasm, and allowing them to ‘work scientifically’ by observing these incredible creatures for themselves. This book is perfect for supporting and developing this interest both at home and at school.

Beautiful illustrations, including labelled diagrams and sequenced pictures, accompany the text, supporting comprehension and developing understanding. The spread about ‘water bugs’, for example, could be used to aid identification of bugs in a garden pond, perhaps leading to children drawing and labelling their own.

Covering everything from feeding habits to life cycles, there are so many fascinating facts here. The information is written in a very accessible style with plenty of humour, whilst using the correct terminology to explain processes. Concluding with a section which explains why bugs are so important and what we can do to help them, there is so much to learn here.

Whether fascinated- or horrified - by spiders, intrigued by gastropods or annoyed by mosquitoes, ‘Bugs! Bugs! Bugs!’ is the book you need!
