This series aims to give the reader an opportunity to explore the world through the eyes of "picture-makers", showing that pictures are a major means by which humans have expressed their understanding of the world, their hopes and aspirations, fears and beliefs, fantasies and dreams. It also seeks to encourage children to practice, think about and express themselves through drawing and painting, and the books give details about techniques, materials and styles which will enable them to have confidence in their abilities. Each book contains about 20 colour reproductions, and comment is made on the formal, symbolic, thematic, technical and contextual elements of the paintings.

A pack of six volumes offering introductions to endangered animals for young readers. The books are part of a series which explores the behaviour and lifestyles of different animals, all of which are in danger. The series explains the concepts of endangerment, extinction and animal protection at a very simple level. Each of the books features a general introduction to animals in danger, before focusing on a specific animal - koalas, polar bears, grey bats, whooping cranes, leatherback turtles and cheetahs. They follow the animal through its daily life, looking at its appearance, behaviour, habitat and special characteristics. They then explain why the animal is in danger, what the danger is, and what measures are being taken to restrict or prevent the danger. Care is taken to explain the difference between danger from humans and the environment, and the "natural" danger that animals face in the wild.
