Simple text and beautiful illustrations are adapted for children up to the age of 3. Apart from the educational value (learning to name the animals, acquiring good habits) the lift-the-flap books help the development of intelligence and imagination.

They are a combination of a book and a toy, thus this series develops a positive attitude towards books at a very early stage.

SILVER AWARD 2012 at BESA competition, which gives awards to the best schoolbooks in Europe.

BEST EUROPEAN LEARNING MATERIAL AWARD 2012

Children aged 6 and 7 develop logical thinking at a growing rate and that is very important for various mathematical activities that stimulate mental development. The tasks are interesting, puzzle-like and not typical. Coming up with an idea for solving a problem develops the creative potential and intuition that is required for mathematics in general. Both books contain a diploma and stickers which are to be used for rating the child’s performance in solving problems. In this way children are taught to assess their work and judge its value which has a substantial educational effect.

This is a new activity pad, which focuses on basic mathematical concepts but at the same time addresses the child’s need for play and movement. The novel approach in this book is that mathematical concepts are not given in an abstract form but rather connected with a broader range of activities – body workout, relaxation techniques, traditional and modern games, etc. The book is divided into 32 themes and each theme contains motivational texts and tasks and a number of questions for discussion and thinking.

17x21cm, 93pp, paperback, full colour

This series of three books that was very popular during the ’90 has now been redesigned and published with brand new illustrations. The books contain a unique collection of very unusual logic tasks for all ages. All three books contain around 450 tasks as well as solutions. These books are meant for all those who love challenging maths tasks. Some of the tasks will seem easy but it will take thinking outside the box to solve them. Only basic knowledge in mathematics is needed to accept the challenge of these books.

8. From point A to point B You should get from point A to point B by following the signs on the road in their order (top to bottom), shown to the left of the famous Amanpur labyrinth.

10. The Eschnapur labyrinth In this Eschnapur labyrinth, dark circles represent walls and white circles represent corridors. The passages in the walls are marked with corresponding numbers. You need to get to the centre and collect 500 points along the way. You start from the outside without any points and you win as many points as written on the passages you go through..

After thinking long and hard, the police captain decided put five guards on each side of the vault, as shown in the picture.

The central cupboard in the middle was supposed to store empty bottles, while the 60 bottles of quality wine (harvest year 1963) were arranged so that there were six bottles in every corner cupboard and nine bottles in every middle cupboard. This way, there were 21 bottles on each side of the square, as you can see from the picture. 6

This is a new activity series for school children. Each title consists of numerous tasks grouped by the theme which allows practicing the school curriculum in a fun way. Many creative activities are included in each theme: reading a story, solving many different tasks, calculating, exploring, giving an opinion, creating something, etc. The tasks are designed to be done individually, but a child can always ask for help (especially a 1st grader). Spontaneously, these tasks help kids obtain the soft skills they need for everyday life.

SIMPLE SCIENCE EXPERIMENTS 16x23cm, 240pp, full colour,

hardcover

Author: Tomislav Senćanski

The bind-up version is a selection of 240 experiments in one book and it was created as a result of the 20 year-long presence of these titles in Serbia and in a dozen other countries around the world.

Patterns formed by sound This experiment will allow you to do something very unusual: to give sound shape.

Necessary materials: an empty tin can, translucent tracing paper, some sand, a funnel, a rubber band, a flute

Pictures formed by sound If you want to see a picture of your voice, try the following experiment.

Necessary materials: a balloon, scissors, a short cardboard tube, a rubber band, some metal foil, a flashlight, glue

How the experiment is performed

4. Insert the funnel into the opening as shown. 5. Play a tune into the funnel's opening.

1. Stretch a piece of the balloon rubber tightly across one end of the tube and fix with the rubber band. 2. Stick a small piece of foil on the balloon rubber. 3. Switch on the flashlight, and position it as shown, so that it is pointing at the metal foil at an angle enabling you to see a spot of light reflected on a wall or a piece of paper. 4. Speak into the open end of the tube, changing the pitch and loudness of your voice.

What will happen?

How the experiment is performed

1. Make an opening on the side of the can to fit the funnel tube. 2. Stretch the tracing paper over the open end and fix with the rubber band tightly. 3. Spread a little sand or other powder on the paper surface.

The sand will begin oscillating on the paper and a regularly-shaped pattern will emerge.

Dashes and wavy lines will appear on the spot of light.

Why?

The vibrations of the air inside the can caused by the flute are conveyed to the paper. But not all parts of its surface oscillate equally, so more sand is forced away from some areas than from others. In this way regular patterns are formed.

Additional idea

1. Repeat the experiment with another instrument and you will get a different pattern. 2. Fixing a plate of metal or glass on a standard as shown and spreading sand on it, pull a violin bow across its edge. This will also result in a pretty pattern.

Why?

The oscillations of your voice make the air in the tube vibrate. This forces the balloon, foil and therefore also the reflected light to oscillate. You will be able to see this in the form of short lines and wavy lines in the spot of light.

and blow through it again towards the candle. See what is going to happen to the flame.

nt sizes

pieces of paper of differe

What is going to happen? You won’t be able to fold any of the pieces of paper more than seven times.

The reason why: When the air comes out of the narrow part of the funnel, the air currents separate and go different ways, making the flame move in the same direction as the air currents. When the air comes out of the wider part of the funnel, the air currents separate while still inside the funnel. The currents hit the walls of the funnel, change the direction and whirl, which is why the air reaches the flame from behind the candle and bends it towards the inside of the wider part of the funnel.

The reason why: Pieces of paper become multilayered by folding. When a piece of paper is folded several times, the number of layers is so big that it cannot be folded any more. Even very thin paper is very difficult to fold after the number of layers reaches more than one hundred, which happens after paper is folded seven times.

Simple Science Experiments series is one of our bestselling foreign rights titles. The series has been published in more than 10 countries and it has been on the Serbian market for almost 15 years, and its popularity has not diminished. These experiments can be the first steps towards science for every schoolchild. In performing them, children can learn important things about the basic laws of physics and chemistry. Some of the experiments are simple, some are more complex but all of them can be performed at home without any harm and with elements and materials found in every household. Scientific terms are easily explained through models, analogies and animations. 16x23 cm, 72 pp, full colour, paperback

What are dinosaurs?

Different kinds of dinosaurs

TYRANNOSAURUS

CORYTHOSAURUS

VELOCIRAPTOR COMPSOGNATHUS

TRICERATOPS

eople sometimes think all ancient vertebrates are dinosaur, from mammoths and pterosaurs to plesiosaurs and ichthyosaurs. But dinosaurs are a particular group of animals that have certain features in common, including living on land. Although some dinosaurs may have spent time in the water, just as elephants do today, they didn’t live in the water. They’re a pretty mixed bunch—large and small, fast and slow, herbivores and carnivores, some with long necks, others with horns, plates, crests, spikes or body armour. With so many differences, it’s hard to find many features they all share. As most of these features are rather technical, we’ll just look at a few important ones, all related to the way dinosaurs carried their weight. Many dinosaurs walked on two legs, like us. But, whereas we hold our bodies upright, dinosaurs held theirs horizontally, using their long tails for balance. Even the four-legged ones carried most of their weight on their back legs, again using their tails to balance the weight of the front part of the body. As most of the weight was carried by the back legs, the pelvis (hips) had to be firmly attached to the backbone. The sacrum—the part of the backbone to which the pelvis attaches—had to be strong, and was formed from at least three vertebrae joined together. Almost all other reptiles have less than three sacral vertebrae.

SKELETON OF A MODERN REPTILE

Modern reptiles, like lizards, have the legs sprawled out horizontally at the sides of the body, as if they’re doing push-ups. It would be impossible to support a heavy load with such a posture, which is why dinosaurs held their legs vertically, beneath the body.

There are more than five hundred different kinds (genera) of dinosaurs. These can be divided into two main groups, based on the shape of their pelvis. The lizard-hipped dinosaurs, called saurischians, have a three-pronged pelvis. The bird-hipped dinosaurs, called ornithischians, have a four-pronged pelvis. ILIUM

PUBIS

To achieve this, the head of the femur— the ball that fits into the hip socket—was set off at the side of the bone, rather than being at its end as it is in modern reptiles. The hip socket was also extra deep, and was open-ended, like a cup with a hole in the bottom, which is a unique dinosaur feature.

The leaf base in grasses and other plants can wrap itself around the stem thus forming a leaf sheath. It protects the tender herbaceous stem and makes it stronger.

LEARN MORE ABOUT TRANSFORMED LEAVES In plants growing in dry regions leaves turn into thorns, which offer the protection from animals and decrease water loss. In plants like these photosynthesis is performed by the green stem, where water is stored as well. Leaves of some plants turn into tendrils, the fibrous plant parts which wrap themselves around solid objects and other plants. This is what keeps the stem in the upright position and enables leaves on top to expose themselves to sunlight.

– Razmišljala sam o tome, ali pomislila sam da me niko neće tražiti – odgovara uz osmeh. – Hoćeš li da mi se pridružiš? Nisam baš sigurna da li sam dovoljno spretna da se uspužem uz visoku ogradu i pređem na drugu stranu... – Molim te. ... ali nema mi druge.

The latest novel by an award winning author is a tender and exciting coming of age novel from the time of grunge, first video games and dial-up internet. It is a story from the ‘90s when the times were turbulent in the Balkans, when generation X was in their teens, growing up with good music, films and comic books but was also searching for the lights of the stars in the darkness they found themselves in. The novel is composed as the reminiscence of the protagonist from the times when epic confrontations of the good and the evil were seeping down from the comic books into the real world. This tender and at the same time bitter story is intended for the new generations who are also in the search of their own dreams and need the answers which can also be found in the past.
