Young children are full of questions about how the world works. Why does a light come on when you flick a switch? How does a tree turn into paper? Where does your poo go when you flush?! All of these questions, and many more, are answered in The Everyday Journeys of Ordinary Things. Readers are also introduced to the journeys of more abstract concepts such as money, as well as ecologically important processes including recycling and the water cycle. Visually arresting, informative and accessible, this is the book for every child who ever wondered, ‘How?’ Libby Deutsch is a children’s author and editor who
has published over fifty books. Valpuri Kerltula is a graduate of the Edinburgh
College of Art. She currently lives in Finland and creates artwork for children’s books, school textbooks and editorial commissions.

Evolution is a difficult idea: it deals with random, unlikely events, combined with vast lengths of time too enormous to comprehend. But the evidence is all around us – in the fossils of long-dead creatures, and in our genes and the relationships between all living beings. Amazing Evolution explores the incredible process of evolution, from the beginnings of life around 3.8 billion years ago, to the millions of different species alive today, including the walking, talking apes with super-powerful brains – human beings. Filled with clear explanations, beautiful illustrations and fascinating facts about the planet’s strangest and most spectacular creatures, Amazing Evolution will keep children (and adults too!) enthralled for hours. Anna Claybourne is a widely published children’s
non-fiction writer, and the author of Where’s Will? (Ivy Kids). She lives in Edinburgh with her two children. Wesley Robins is an award-winning illustrator and

AWARD WINNER
✤ An exciting picture book that
measures and compares a huge variety of subjects, from the solar system to super machines
Over 40 fully illustrated topics measure and compare the most ‘Wow!’ aspects of the natural and human world, from the strongest animals and fastest vehicles to extreme journeys and natural forces. Pictorial comparisons and equivalents sit alongside units of measurement, explaining facts in fresh, fascinating ways. Did you know that a cheetah and a Porsche can both accelerate from 0 to 112 kph in just three seconds? That the moon is only slightly narrower than the width of Australia? Or that a blue whale’s length is the same as 19 humans swimming in a line? You’ll never look at the world the same way again once you’ve read this book! Clive Gifford is the author of the award-winning Eye

as a person, animal, vehicle or other everyday object, makes each topic easy to understand ✤ Facts and data explained in a
