Bøker av Aina Bestard

A large format, beautifully designed book that opens a wonderful window onto the prehistoric world.

How do animals digest the food they eat? What is their favourite food? Discover how the different digestive systems of 70 different animals work... including humans! Did you know that horses can't throw up? This is because the esophagus in horses has a one-way movement. Why are flamingos usually pink? Because they eat lots of shrimp! Shrimp have carotenoids in their bodies, which are natural antioxidant pigments. In her beautiful detailed illustrations, Aina Bestard presents the digestive workings of a dizzying range of vertebrate and invertebrate animals, including starfish, honey bees, cats, ducks, giraffes and spiders. Each animal illustration is printed on a semi-transparent page, which can then be turned over onto a detailed diagram to show how each digestive system works. Full of amazing facts and disgusting descriptions, this is a book for both kids and adults alike.

A large format, beautifully designed book that takes readers on an incredible journey into space. We live in an amazing planetary system. From the yawning Valles Marineris on Mars and the ocean hiding beneath the ice crust of Jupiter's moon Europa, to the eerily Earth-like terrain of Saturn's moon Titan and the Sun's blazing corona, our solar system brims with wonders. This book takes children on a trip across the Solar System with the aid of marvellous illustrations, lift-up flaps and a comprehensive text that helps them understand the amazing variety of landscapes within our planetary system. Lift up the layers to discover how the Sun was formed and explore the amazing landscapes of our neighbouring planets. Readers will find out which moons are the most like the Earth, what Saturn's rings are made of, where comets come from, and what lies in the Kuiper Belt, outside the very edge of the solar system.

A non-fiction title for children on the various and amazing ways that different species come into the world. Delicate illustrations over transparencies show the miracle of birth among turtles, seahorses and many others.
