The first two books in this exciting nonfiction series for ages 8 through 12, SEE-THROUGH PIRATES and SEE-THROUGH MUMMIES, have already sold more than 20,000 copies. That's a direct result of combining topics kids love with an innovative approach to using acetate overlays. Reptiles are the new dinosaurs, fascinating to learn about but much more accessible. Our unique clear-page design eliminates backwards or blocked text, making 4 pages of “see-through” action seem like 8. Lizards, snakes, turtles, crocodiles, and other reptiles come alive as kids get an up-close look at the way a chameleon changes color, or a baby crocodile develops in an egg.

Teach your kids that composting is fun (and stop them moaning about emptying the compost bucket) with this funky guide which takes you from compost menus who knew worms were gourmets? to Worms & Ladders, a fresh take on a very traditional board game. Find out the rules for setting up your very own Worm Lovers Society, learn all about the plotto- plate cycle together, and get your family out creating compost together.

Watch as astronauts blast off into space with this beautifully illustrated book. By simply holding the book up to the light, or shining a torch behind each page, young readers will be able to discover how astronauts work, eat and exercise on a space station, and will delight in following a crew from lift-off to touch-down. The innovative see-through feature fulfils a similar function to lift-the-flap books, but has the added interactive dimension of the child being able to see both the surface and the hidden picture at the same time.

Jellyfish are mysterious creatures, luminously beautiful with remarkably varied life cycles. These simple, ancient animals are found in every ocean at every depth, and have lived on Earth for at least the last 500 million years. Ominously, they are also increasing in number as they adapt well to marine environmental degradation. Jellyfish is a timely title that looks at their anatomy, life history, taxonomy and ecology, and includes species profiles featuring stunning marine photography that will have you scanning the depths with renewed interest.
