An introduction to whales for young readers. It is 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. The book features a general introduction to animals in danger, before focusing on whales. It follows the whale through its daily life, looking at its appearance, behaviour, habitat and special characteristics. It then explains why the whale is in danger, what the danger is, and what measures are being taken to restrict or prevent the danger. Care is taken to show the difference between danger from humans and the environment, and the "natural" danger animals face in the wild.

This text is one of a collection of highly illustrated titles which examine all aspects of plants and the way they grow, their uses and their different forms and colours. This particular title focuses on the topic of how plants grow. It is part of the "Take-Off" series, which is aimed at nine-year-olds who are struggling to achieve the levels of literacy expected for their age. The titles chosen are based on best-selling titles within existing Heinemann Library series and meet all Key Stage 2 requirements for their subject. The National Literacy Strategy emphasizes that children with special educational needs should work, wherever possible, with their peers within the Literacy Hour. The aim is to use structured, intensive teaching to enable as many children as possible eventually to work at the appropriate level for their age.

How Plants Grow

angela-royston

A discussion of how plants grow, suitable for children between the ages of five and seven. The study of plants is an important part of early science teaching and this book is part of a series which approaches it in a way that seeks to be both age and curriculum appropriate. Four of the titles explain the theory of plant life (life cycle, pollination, germination and more) and the other two titles illustrate this information using plants that can be seen in different locations around the UK. The books use simple text and photography, and each spread builds on information presented in the previous ones. There are also simple activities to reinforce learning, such as "Grow Your Own" and "Can You Spot..?"

In each of the books in this series, a mystery is described, and the case for and against a rational scientific explanation is put forward. Evid ence is provided in the form of eyewitness accounts and written and pictorial reports. Whilst there may not be a scientific explanation for each phenomenon, the books do not attempt to reduce the mystique of each one, but instead offer a variety of possibilities to allow readers to come to their own conclusions. Recurrent themes within the series are: scientific developments and techniques used to examine evidence; links between science and natural phenomena; materials and processes used to create and expose fake evidence.

Key Stage 1 work on life processes should be related to pupils' knowledge of animals in the local environment. Children should understand that animals move, feed, grow, use their senses and reproduce; that living things can be grouped according to observable similarities and differences; and that there are different kinds of animals in the local environment. This look at snails is one of a series focusing on familiar minibeasts. It covers size, appearance, birth and reproduction, growth, feeding, predators, life-span, movement, and different types. The book includes simple questions based on the information provided.
