‘How slow’s a sloth?’ (very s-l-o-w … the three-toed sloth hangs around in trees and hardly moves); why do elephants have big ears? and who lays eggs as big as a football? Find out the answers to the questions that have fascinated children (and adults!) for generations with this unusual and amusing question-and-answer book! A fun first introduction to the world of exotic animals, their behaviour and their characteristics. With hilarious, imaginative questions answered by know-it-all animal characters and funny cartoon-style illustrations accompanying scientific facts, this book introduces children to facts about the planet in a fun, enjoyable way.

Shells, nests, mounds, bowers, galleries, dens, lodges, and the creative critters that build them are explored in this fascinating introduction to animal habitats. The featured creature carpenters dig, mould, spin, and weave their homes with an intricacy fascinating to budding zoologists. Children learn how these industrious animals can adjust their homes for temperature and comfort, make escape hatches, and store food for their young. Familiar industrious animals such as beavers, prairie dogs, and spiders are included alongside exotic wombats, oven birds, and naked mole rats as memorable examples of animals that adapt to and even renovate their environments.

Being magical isn’t everything Jake hoped it would be.Jake knew he was meant for something more than the normal teen life he pretended to live. There has to be more to life than ticking down the moments until the mindless drudgery of school ended each day. And then his father disappeared.Vanishing before Jake’s eyes, his father abandons him to a hidden world of wizards and magic, thrusting Jake into the middle of a war he’s not prepared to fight. A war in which more than his life is at stake. Hounded by the Dark Knights, Jake holds the key to the Drogue. A myth. A legend. So old, even the storybooks have all but forgotten its story. Jake doesn’t know why the Dark Knights think he has it, but he must find it before they find him.For where the Dark Knights go, death follows.
