Mama Mammals
"Exploring the biology of reproduction and birth and early parenting in the warm-blooded class of animals that we humans belong to. The book is packed with fascinating facts about all sorts of mammal species. For example, when trying to impress a mate, elk will lock horns, whilst hippos will smear poo on one another. We learn what happens when an egg is fertilised and how an embryo develops. We find out why some mammals have multiple births, whilst others only have single pregnancies. We learn how the gestation process differs in marsupials and how platypuses and echidnas breastfeed (spoiler alert, milk seeps out of their nipple-less chests!) We discover the importance of breastmilk and learn how different animals look after (or don't look after) their newborns. The book offers a refreshingly straightforward starting point for the inevitable questions about how babies come into this world, without being a sex-education book, per se. With beautiful and accessible illustrations by Malachy Egan and short, coherent texts by Cathy Evans, this is a great way of introducing the facts of life to small children"--Publisher's description.

And why does matriarch Edie turn a blind eye to her son’s malevolence? Will she stand by and watch while he wrecks the lives of her other children? Just how much is she willing to sacrifice to protect her son?
Art Therapy with Children on the Autistic Spectrum
Recent research has shown that art therapy can be particularly effective for children with autism and related communication disorders. The extensive range of symptoms experienced by autistic people makes them extremely individual in presentation, so any treatment used must be tailored to a range of varying needs. Art Therapy with Children on the Autistic Spectrum presents a new model of practice, which primarily focuses on communication difficulties. The authors describe how negative behaviours and subsequent tension may be alleviated when the autistic child is involved in interactive art making with the therapist. The book is divided into three parts: the first part explores art making proc...
Cat Eyes and Dog Whistles
You won't believe your eyes... or ears or nose....! Learn how our bodies make sense of reality in this fact packed book about sensory perception. They say that seeing is believing - and there's some truth in that. Highly sensitive receptor cells in our eyes, ears, noses, tongues and skin relay messages to the brain and allow us to interpret the things going on around us, creating our sense of reality. But how do our senses work? And how do they differ from the senses of other animals? This book takes young readers step by step through the biology of each of the senses. Clear texts are peppered with fascinating facts. Did you know that, unlike the other senses, smells are delivered directly t...
The Beloved Girls
"It's a funny old house. They have this ceremony every summer . . . There's an old chapel, in the grounds of the house. It's half-derelict. The Hunters keep bees in there. Every year, on the same day, the family processes to the chapel. They open the combs, taste the honey. Take it back to the house. Half for them -" my father winced, as though he had bitten down on a sore tooth. "And half for us." Catherine, a successful barrister, vanishes from a train station on the eve of her anniversary. Is it because she saw a figure - someone she believed long dead? Or was it a shadow cast by her troubled, fractured mind? The answer lies buried in the past. It lies in the events of the hot, seismic su...
