Draw cute, with this book that introduces budding artists to basic techniques for creating adorable kawaii food! Kawaii is a Japanese word that actually means “cute,” and these fun projects, outlined with step-by-step instructions and delightful illustrations, will give children the confidence and skillset to create their own pictures. One side of the spread provides the illustration and the how-tos; the other side has space for you to create your personal variation on the design. From hot dogs and watermelon to cupcakes and pretzels, if this food were real it would be too cute to eat! Draw a takeout container of kawaii ramen, complete with chopsticks; the container has a smiley face and is licking its tongue. Or create a selection of drinks in a glass using different fruits and all with different expressions. You can also try your hand at favorites like pizza, pancakes, peas in a pod, sushi, tacos, ice cream, and more!

Brrr! This fun book, with gatefolds and pullouts, introduces kids to a snowy, icy world of wonders! What do you know about snow? This beautiful book will open your eyes to its wonders! You’ll discover that no two snowflakes are the same; what it’s like to be hit by an avalanche; and how artists carve ice sculptures. Ten highly detailed gatefolds and informative descriptions on pullout flaps give readers an inside look at what happens at a ski resort or inside an igloo.

The year is 1842, and you have been taken from your mother in London to work in a cotton mill in smoky Manchester. The work is hard and dangerous: you are likely to go deaf and suffer from lung disease, and you could easily lose limbs. Is there no hope for you? Will things ever get better? Will you see your mother again? The humorous cartoon-style illustrations and the narrative approach encourage readers to get emotionally involved with the characters, aiding their understanding of what life would have been like for workers in a Victorian Mill. Informative captions, a complete glossary and an index make this title an ideal introduction to the conventions of non-fiction texts for young readers.
