  • Life-Size Sharks and Other Underwater Creatures

    Daniel Gilpin, Martin Knowelden

    Hardcover (Sterling, Aug. 1, 2005)
    Dive into these colossal pages and swim among huge slithery creatures with big, open jaws. Just like last season's sales sensation Life-Size Dinosaurs, this undersea adventure, with its 10 awe-inspiring, pull-out flaps, takes you on a fantastic voyage. What lives beneath the waves? Find out, in an exciting and unique exploration of oceans, rivers, and lakes. Life-size, fold-out pictures bring you face to face with such extraordinary beasts as the deadly, black banded sea krait and carry you into a great white shark's "jaws of death." Examine the sawfish's saw--shown in actual size--which slices and dices its prey. Enter the ocean's "twilight zone" that lies deep, deep below the surface. Visit the thriving coral reefs where bright and beautiful fish swim amid lush plants. From giant squids and barracuda to Portuguese man-of-war fish and eels who cross the Atlantic just to give birth, each one has an incredible story to tell. And as an added bonus, the reverse of the jacket is a poster of a great white shark!

  • The Kids' Cookbook: Over 50 Fun Recipes for Kids to Cook

    Martin Knowlden

    Hardcover (Kyle Cathie, Oct. 1, 2006)
    More than 50 kids' recipes are collected here, all as healthy and nutritious as they are fun and easy to make. Every recipe is divided into two parts: "What do I need?" gives you a list of the ingredients and utensils needed, and "How do I do that?" breaks the recipe down into practical, numbered stages. As a quick reference the cookbook also includes how many people the recipe serves, how long it takes to cook, and some basic nutritional information as a guide. The delicious recipes are based on the four main food groups—starchy foods, fruit and vegetables, dairy and meat, fish, and alternatives. And no kids' cookbook would be complete without some favorite sweet treats and thirst-busting drinks! From smoothies to fruit crushes, fish cakes to Spanish omelettes, hedgehog bread rolls to banana and grape brulee, there are a host of recipes to keep the young cooking enthusiast constantly busy. And not only that—this book also gives confidence and inspiration as well as a basic grounding in nutrition and healthy eating.
