This is a magical collection of illustrated stories from the Nature’s Storybook series. These 48 stories explore how animals and plants communicate in very creative ways! Mother nature has devised so many beautiful and surprising ways to share information. Nature can be marvellously noisy, with birds singing, bears roaring, frogs croaking and kangaroos stomping... but many creatures and plants communicate through other, less vocal methods, too. In this book, children can meet both noisy and not-so-noisy communicators, from a bee who waggle dances to explain a route to pollen, to rhinos who leave messages with their dung, African elephants who send vibrating messages to each other and demon mole rats who communicate by headbutting! Kids will discover that communication is often through sound, but it is also in the silent sign language used by ravens, in the hormone trails left by ants, in the artistic displays of pufferfish and amazingly, it's even under the ground in fungal networks between trees. As well as exploring how animals and plants communicate, the stories also delve into the why, showcasing examples of wildlife communicating in order to share information with their pack, flock or herd, or to win the attention and affections of ...

With over 25 activities, A Little Dose of Nature is a gentle guide to being outside that helps children aged 5-8 make the most of all the good that nature can do for our mental health. Being surrounded by greenery, wildlife, and fresh air is scientifically proven to be one of the most effective – and neglected – ways to de-stress and boost wellbeing.

Each of these key ingredients is explored through a range of simple, relaxing activities that children, parents and carers can do in their favourite green spaces, including: Making a paper cone to listen in on the goings on inside a tree Creating beautiful works of art using only natural materials Feeling the lovely squelch of mud between your toes Written by psychologist Dr. Alison Greenwood and with gorgeous illustrations from Anneli Bray, A Little Dose of Nature ...

A new collection of stories from A. S. Byatt is always a winner, and this one takes an unexpected turn, bringing shivers as well as delights. Leaves rustle underfoot in a dark wood: two middle-aged women walk into a forest, as they did when they were girls, confronting their fears and memories and the strange thing they saw in their childhood - or thought they saw - so long ago. A distinguished obstetrician and young woman artist find they have sharply contrasting ideas about body parts, birth and death; an innocent member of an evening class harbours unexpected view on ''raw material''. The stories in this marvellous collection are by turns funny, spooky, sparkling and haunting.

One of the most storied high jewelry houses in Paris, Chaumet has been entwined with the history of France since its founding in 1780. Appointed official jeweler to Empress Joséphine, the house has passed down its unique savoir-faire for almost 240 years. Each generation of Chaumet jewelers has looked to the natural world as a key source of inspiration, dreaming up ruby orchids, delicate laurel wreath tiaras, striking diamond starbursts, and a beguiling array of animals—from birds and butterflies to snakes and octopuses—on necklaces, brooches, and headpieces.Drawings were used not only to research and develop ideas, revealing little-known aspects of the creative process of jewelry design, but also to present fully conceptualized bespoke pieces to clients, tempting them to place an order. These beautiful and inventive drawings—many of which are published here for the first time—are presented in thematic chapters (“Flowers,” “Trees and Plants,” “Bestiary,” and “Universe”), while essays by curator Gaëlle Rio offer a concise art-historical perspective.Chaumet: Drawing from Nature
