About this deal

Night Mayor Franklefink has vanished from the Transylvanian Express - and it's up to you to solve the case! Part of the Solve Your Own Mystery seri... But their bestselling book of 2019 (for 0 to 6-year-olds) was The Wonky Donkey by Craig Smith and Katz Cowley. In 2018, the book featured in a viral video of a grandmother in fits of laughter as she tried to read it to her grandchild, leading to a sales surge of the book worldwide. The researchers now want to further test their calculations about K2-141b. They will now use data from the Spitzer Space Telescope to determine more specific temperatures for the day side and night side of the planet. Later, they plan to use the upcoming James Webb Space Telescope ( JWST), due to launch in 2021, to analyze the atmosphere. This is perfect to read and enjoy with anyone interested in learning about space. With its rhythmic rhyming couplets, the text encourages engagement from the audience as you use your knowledge about space to anticipate the next rhyme. The fact that it is a young girl who is interested in space and becomes an astronaut adds more layers to this extremely well presented book, squashing that 'scientist' stereotype.

Lava worlds like K2-141b are unknown in our solar system. Even Mercury isn’t close enough to the sun to have magma oceans on its surface. On Earth and Jupiter’s moon Io (and maybe Venus), the lava flows from volcanoes can give an idea of what it’s like, but it’s still not the same as having much of, or most of, a planet’s entire surface literally melted to create magma oceans.

This is the fourth book in Donaldson’s hugely successful rhyming adventure series What The Ladybird Heard, illustrated by Lydia Monks. This time, the crime-busting little ladybird is off to the seaside, but the two bad men, Hefty Hugh and Lanky Len, turn up to steal the mermaid’s flowing hair. You can even spot Donaldson and her husband Malcolm performing a children’s show on the beach, and Monks driving through the countryside, in “cameo” roles. This is 2020’s most anticipated release – and yet another potential children’s classic by Julia Donaldson, who teams up with the award-winning Catherine Rayner for the striking story told in her trademark rhyming format. You may not always want company, but everyone needs friends sometimes. Lovely story and gorgeous illustrations that will bear repeated bedtime readings. Does your child have trouble falling off to sleep? This dreamy bedtime book about an exhausted lion who just can’t drop off to sleep is the perfect antidote with its gentle mindfulness message. It’s by Catherine Raynor, the Kate Greenaway Medal-winning illustrator whose other titles include the critically acclaimed Solomon Crocodile and the award-winning Smelly Louie.Told in delightful story format this is a perfect, informative introduction to the planets. The dazzling illustrations by Bethan Woollvin brings the space journey to life and gives each planet endearing personality. It's a fun, fact-filled voyage that makes the mystery of the universe feel both real yet familiar, bringing it within the reach of little minds and making it memorable. No doubt after reading this, children will be chanting the verses, imitating the artwork and building on the learning. The Dalai Lama is extending his teachings to children in his first picture book ever. He shares lessons of peace and compassion through stories about his own childhood, when he was just an ordinary boy called Lhamo Thondup from a small village in Tibet.

All Pablo books are written by writers on the autistic spectrum and are grounded in the real-life experiences of autistic children. This time, Pablo runs away from his cousin’s noisy party and hides in a car, but Pablo’s friends make him realise it is OK not to want to go to the party. It is designed to help young children understand that not everybody thinks in the same way. This picture book is a very enjoyable text to read-aloud as each planet is given a comical personality to reflect its assets - which is fun and humorous when it comes to adding that expression! Venus is the 'goddess of beauty' and Jupiter is 'king of the planets', whilst Saturn is 'your beautiful queen'. Bethan Woollvin has matched her illustrations to compliment and personify the words to contribute to the personalities of the planets. This read-aloud, rhyming, picture-led book takes you on a space adventure to meet all the planets of the solar system and the smiley-faced planets from “shimmering Saturn” to “mighty Mars”. Caryn Hart, who also writes young fiction, is best known for picture books including How To Catch a Dragon and The Princess and the Peas.

Our finding likely means that the atmosphere extends a little beyond the shore of the magma ocean, making it easier to spot with space telescopes. 55 Cancri e, almost twice the diameter of Earth, is another possible lava world, as seen in this artist’s concept.

It encourages children to spread kindness in their community by being grateful, kind and helpful. Her inspirational words and scenes are brought to life vividly with her colourful hand-lettering and drawings. A mouse, cat, and rabbit highlight the many ways to express empathy and compassion – such as running over to help when somebody falls off a scooter. Narrative non-fiction picture books are becoming increasingly popular on the bookshop shelves and who better to write this rhyming meet and greet with the planets than rhythmic picture book master, Caryl Hart. The study is the first to make predictions about weather conditions on K2-141b that can be detected from hundreds of light-years away with next-generation telescopes such as the James Webb Space Telescope. K2-141b’s surface is thought to be largely covered by a magma ocean (artist’s concept). Image via MediaInaf TV/ The Science Times.

Planets that orbit close to their stars tend, of course, to be a lot hotter than those that are farther away, for example, Mercury and Venus in our solar system. But in some solar systems, there are planets that orbit their stars even closer than Mercury, the closest planet to our sun. Some of these extreme worlds are referred to as lava planets, where scientists think that at least part of their surfaces are covered by molten magma oceans.

So, what makes a good children’s book? The children’s buyer at Waterstones, Florentyna Martin, says: “The real gems are the ones that appeal equally to children and adults, and they are also perhaps the most difficult to get right. If a parent or guardian is going to read their child’s favourite story night after night (after night after night) then a strong narrative, good characters and engaging illustrations are key ingredients. The steady beat of a rhyme and the occasional dash of humour will also go a long way to sparking that first love of a book.” York University’s Tue Giang Nguyen is lead author of the study, published November 3, 2020, in the peer-reviewed journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. Nguyen said in a statement: The New York Times bestselling book by the Olympic medallist and social justice activist Ibtihaj Muhammad is an empowering and moving illustrated story about being proud of your roots. The day Faizah starts school is also her older sister Asiya’s first day of hijab. But not everybody finds her hijab of dazzling blue fabric so pleasing. In the face of criticism, Faizah has to toughen up. This touching story is about kindness, empathy and friendship. The author is one of the most talented names in picture books, with classics including Missing Mummy and Aunt Amelia. She also won the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize in 2013 for Lunchtime, and has collaborated with Julia Donaldson on bestselling picture books The Paper Dolls and The Everywhere Bear. The western obsession with stuff means we are at a tipping point of material saturation and clutter. This very funny rhyming woodland book from the creator of the modern classic Meerkat Mail – about two hoarding Magpies who ram their nest with too much stuff, including a car and a pram – might help educate young children about the consequences of always wanting more… but I doubt it. Based in the same forest as Gravett’s award-winning Tidy, it features many woodland animals, including Tidy’s Pete the badger.The Costa Novel Award-winning Maggie O’Farrell’s debut illustrated children’s book is much anticipated. It is based on a story she told her children at bedtime, about a girl who creates her own guardian angel while playing one wintry day. O’Farrell said: “I have always thought of the picture book as a unique and pervasive art form, and one that has the potential to reach people from a very young age, sometimes staying with them for life.”
