A gallant guide to knightly know-how. The life of a knight is not an easy one. It takes bravery and skill to battle a dragon...and a really fast car doesn't hurt. Charge into Imagine You're a Knight! and enter a kingdom of imagination, knightly secrets, and fun. Aspiring squires will learn the importance of a well-equipped quest: armor (as many as twenty pieces), polish for making it shine, sword and shield, and carrots for their trusty steed. They'll also discover the difference between quests, tasks, and adventures, the downsides of dragon-battling, and the need for tournaments when dragons are in short supply. Charmingly linked with tales of bravery (meet the Knights of the Round Table), laudable activities (design a coat of arms, feast on Eggscalibread), and details of knightly life, Imagine You're a Knight! also dazzles with daring illustrations.

Have you ever laid on the ground at night looking up at the twinkling stars? Those stars are the millions of planets, moons, suns and space dust that make up the Milky Way Galaxy. Our Solar System lives in this galaxy and we are viewing Earth's neighbors when we look at the night sky. Sometimes you might see a shooting star streak across the sky. This is usually a meteoroid, small rock or ice that enters the Earth's atmosphere and burns up. Imagine what it must be like to zip through space and look back to Earth where kids around the globe are gazing into the night sky. Includes the most up-to-date findings from the New Horizons satellite.

An enchanting guide for anyone who's ever dreamt of being a fairy! Did you know that fairies can be short, small, fat, tall, or thin? Whatever they look like, all fairies are very clever and very magical. And have you ever wondered where fairies live? This offbeat and highly amusing guide describes the essentials for any child who decides to become a fairy: a magic wand, flying shoes, a cloak of invisibility, glitter, and a regal expression. This book offers masses of practical information. Within these pages, readers will discover everything they need to know about fairy outfits and clothes, equipment and accessories. There's even detailed information on magic and spells. Young fairies might choose the spell for good luck or the one for making general mischief. And be sure to check out the pages on wands and flying practice, both critical to a successful career as a fairy. You will also find out about fairy godmothers and the code of conduct that fairies must obey. Full of imagination and a quirky sense of humor that will hit kids' funny bone, this is a hugely entertaining book on the upside-down world of fairies. And there could be no better person to illustrate it than Lucy Loveheart, who must have been a fairy once herself.
