My daughter is now the same age: Sir David similarly introduced her to the world's richest habitats through Planet Earth II. This piqued her interest about Daddy's years working in jungles. Appetite whetted, she can depend her understanding through this charming book.

Louie and Ralphie Ratso want nothing more than to convince everyone else that they are tough as nails, but…it isn’t entirely working. A funny, affectionate book about family, appearances and what being tough actually means. Ugly Cat & Pablo by Isabel Quintero 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. The huge cast of both familiar and lesser-known reef characters is introduced on the inside covers, adding a puzzle dimension to the book as you search for the royal blue tang, star coral and cone snail. Each section contains a discovery section where you will have a closer look at natural phenomenon such as metamorphoses and migration, learn about categorization in the animal kingdom or become an expert on the collective nouns for birds.

The real skill of successful conservation lies in the ability to communicate complicated, scientific concepts to as many people as possible, including children. Isabella Tree is one such communicator. When We Went Wild tells the story of two farmers who make the shift from industrial farming to rewilding, and the wonderful benefits that this brings for wildlife, their community, their animals and for them. I used this book as a core text with my year 3 class. The story is short enough to read in one session and the children enjoyed the pictures. It is essentially a fish-out-of-water story. My class discussed what the humans must have thought of the Wild Girl and what she thought about them. I broke the story into five parts and encouraged the children to write their own five-part fish-out-of-water stories.

The imagery is modern and wonderfully detailed, filled with lots of cute characters with humorous expressions. The story provides us with the message of how important it is to be ourselves and to be happy with whom we really are.
