An innovative new series that explores the science of children's everyday world by using a very simple story to introduce panels of linked information. As the child in the story experiences science first-hand so too does the reader. Each book contains a great deal of information but it is presented in such a simple way that it is easily accessible to a wide age range. The books are illustrated throughout with beautiful 'picture book' illustrations for the story and clear 'diagramatic' art for the panels. Each book ends with suggested activities, useful words, index and notes about the book. In Seashore, the reader joins David on a day trip to the beach and discovers all about rock pools, seabirds, seaweed, dunes and even how pebbles are made. In Plants and Flowers, the reader joins Ruby as she helps her aunt in her garden, planting out flowers, gathering fruits and seeds and seeing how plants grow.

It's Science! is a young science series which introduces the reader to the major aspects of science covered in the first years of school. It also encourages awareness of scientific processes at work in the world around us. The series is characterised by a simple text and fresh, open designs and encourages an interactive approach, with things to notice, work out or play on the page. Both these titles focus on the science involved in popular classroom projects and topics. Plants & Flowers considers the elements that plants need to grow, the structure of flowering plants and the way they make new plants. Air & Flight looks at what makes up air, how we use it from breathing to floating, and explore the science behind how objects fly through the air, from aeroplanes to birds.
