Wild Child by Dara McAnulty, Barry Falls | Waterstones

Emily Hughes is an incredibly talented illustrator. The artwork in this book is bold, unique and truly, truly stunning. It is such innovative work and I cannot help but be mesmerized by it. On top of that, this story is so beautiful! My husband and our little family are such fans of nature and the outdoors and the story of this girl and her wild ways is both exciting and heartwarming.In her debut picture book, Hughes brings an uncanny humor to her painterly illustrations. Her work is awash with color, atmosphere, and a stunning visual splendor that will enchant children while indulging their wilder tendencies. Wild is a twenty-first-century answer to Maurice Sendak's children's classic—it has the same inventiveness, groundbreaking art, and unmissable quirkiness. To my five-year-old son, who was happy to test the title's appeal, the experience of pressing bird-emblazoned buttons for instant aural gratification were a hit. Within five minutes his restless little fingers had played each of the different songs countless times.

Her award- winning, best-selling Beetle Boy trilogy turned into an international success story, wowing aged-7 readers with stories starring curios Coleoptera. With Rex the Rhinoceros Beetle, she takes her passion for these insects to a younger audience with this bedtime book for pre- schoolers, beautifully illustrated by Duncan Beedie.

Since she was a young girl, Mya-Rose Craig has passionately advocated for the voices of young and diverse people in the environmental movement.

The main character's face is very, very expressive. The art in this book is just beautiful...so detailed and wonderful! It's about a little girl somehow abandoned in the forest, who is taken in by the forest creatures and lives a happy, feral life. Until one day she's discovered by some hipster hunters (or, I guess, they caught her in their bear trap? Only her hair was caught but that's pretty harsh, hipsters. Is using a bear trap really sporting? They take her to live with Famed Psychiatrist and his wife (presumably I'm supposed to assume the man is Famed Psychiatrist because he's the one measuring her head and taking notes while the lady just brushes the kid's hair and tries to cut her meat...but technically the lady could be Famed Psychiatrist while her significant other is her assistant. But I don't think I'm supposed to think that) and they just get mad at her for not learning even though it doesn't look like she's been there very long and so when she runs away they're just like "good riddance" which will be hard to explain to the papers but whatever. Famed Psychiatrist's dog and cat escape with our friend as well and live happy lives in harmony with the animals of the forest because this is a magical forest where predator and prey hang out and don't kill each other. I don't know what the bears and foxes eat but that's not the point of this story - the point is, you do you. I really like the magic in this book actually, because I would love to imagine that there are forests that exist where all the animals love each other and never die and people can have plants for hair.

Thus spiders, lampooned in one spread for being monstrous night-time nasties, are in the following spread argued to be vital, charismatic bug-catchers that carefully recycle their own webs by eating them. Crows aren’t creepy – they’re faithful parents, we’re told. Likewise, foxes aren’t fiendish – they can be friendly. Did you know that on a clear night the human eye can see around 19 quadrillion miles into space? And that the earliest identified puzzle was written over 4,000 years ago? These and many other fascinating nuggets of information can be found in this engaging book inspired by exhibits in the Natural History Museum. I suspect Charlotte Milner is a fan of Octonauts. The BBC animated TV series, which has ‘edutained’ a generation of youngsters on the subject of marine biology, is echoed in both the artwork and text of The Sea Book. I couldn’t help hearing the voice of Shellington, the Octonaut’s scientific sea otter, when I read this book.There’s no great depth to any one subject but, as an overview, Amazing Islands is more than enough to whet the appetite for discovery.
