Summary

A delightful book filled with adorable animal paintings of countryside wildlife by Hannah Dale, creator of the popular Wrendale Designs.
This charming book features 50 quintessentially British birds and animals painted by award-winning artist Hannah Dale. From the red deer to the harvest mouse, from the sparrow to the barn owl, the nation's favourite creatures are brought to life in Hannah's unique and quirky style.
Each illustration is brimming with character and is accompanied by insightful and entertaining text introducing the animal. Did you know that the little wren's voice is ten times louder than that of a cockerel, weight for weight? Or that the clever magpie can count? Smaller pictures include their tracks and feathers, to help you identify where they've been near even when you can't see them.
A new and larger edition of a bestselling book, the gorgeous animal paintings get even more space to shine. It's an irresistible book for any nature lover.
Available since: 07/20/2023.
Print length: 120 pages.

    Is there any music more instantly recognisable and beautifully scored than Tchaikovsky’s wildly popular ballet Swan Lake? These and other works have become enduring classics, yet they were not uncontroversial in Tchaikovsky’s day, and there are those that still wonder if his style is fundamentally European or ardently Russian. Find out more about Tchaikovsky’s childhood obsession with music, his turbulent relationships with friends and colleagues, and how he overcame the deepest of personal crises to transcend all with a creative ambition that has left us with some of the greatest music ever written. The narrative is illustrated with musical excerpts from Piano Concerto No. 1, Symphonies Nos. 4 and 6, the 1812 Overture, The Nutcracker, Swan Lake and The Sleeping Beauty, among others.

    Spid is bored and longs for adventure. When he daydreams one day, of faraway places, he finds himself flying back in time. But his adventure isn’t quite as he expected...This audiobook features two songs: 'Seven Wonders' and 'I Dreamed of Faraway'. You can also find music videos of the songs at https://spidthespider.com and https://www.youtube.com/spidthespider. Spid is a lowly spider, who wants to better himself, write songs, and marry his girlfriend Bid, though he is prone to hilarious mishaps mostly of his own making. He is hard-working, cool, and a role model for young children. As well as encouraging children to read and love books, Spid's adventures also teach valuable life lessons, including determination and what psychologists call a 'growth mindset' (desire to better oneself and succeed), the importance of friendship, and sustainability. With very creative prose, Spid's adventures are fun for parents, and teachers to read to, and with, their children. They present lots of opportunities to invest dramatic licence thus helping adults and children interact and engage. The humour works at multiple levels from silly and slapstick to more sophisticated wordplay and concepts. Thus, children will discover more and enjoy reading the stories multiple times.
