His remarkable personality shines through this heroic story of battles, sieges, and victories.

Amelia Earhart flew into history through her courage and skill as a pilot. She was a shining example of freedom, opportunity, and success, and her story is truly dramatic, from her triumph as the first woman to fly across the Atlantic to her mysterious disappearance over the Pacific Ocean.

Hans Christian Andersen : The Dreamer of Fairy Tales

Hans Andersen was a quiet child. He would sit for hours in the back yard, inventing stories for his toy theater. Discouraged from pursuing a career as an actor or a singer, Andersen instead became a storyteller. His marvelous fairy tales, full of jokes and magic, have entranced children since they were first written.

Oxford First Book of Space

An imaginatively planned single-volume encyclopedia that makes learning accessible and fun. Its eight thematic sections take young readers on a journey of exploration and learning. Beginning with the child's own body and how it works, it progresses outwards to the wider world, where people live, work and create. The horizon stretches further, to encompass the Earth with all its animals and plants, before moving on to science, technology, and finally space and the stars. Information is presented in a wide variety of ways - text, captions, child-friendly, colourful artwork, photographs, activities and fact boxes. This diversity makes the book accessible on a variety of levels, to reflect the range of interests and abilities of young children. Readers are encouraged to get involved with the text and pictures, to find out things for themselves, and to try the simple, fun experiments and projects suggested throughout.
