If you love spiders, or if you are terrified of spiders, or if you just want to be mind-boggled by some incredible arachnid facts, this book is for you! These little eight-legged creatures are often the stuff of people''s nightmares, but spiders are amazing animals that are essential for our world. Told from a spider''s point of view, in this book spiders set out to convince their human doubters that they really aren''t out to scare or harm people. In fact, they are far too busy weaving beautiful silk structures , hunting, keeping insect pests under control, and raising their young to want to frighten humans.

Earth''s insects are in trouble. That''s one half of this book''s simple but incredibly important message. The book''s other, more hopeful, "call to action" is that everyone can do something to help protect bees, beetles and thousands of other insects. Without insects, many animals, including birds, amphibians, fish and reptiles could not survive. Humans would struggle to grow enough food and decomposers would not be at work recycling dead plants and other waste materials. However, it''s estimated that, worldwide, insect numbers have declined by around 75% in the last 50 years. In this book, readers will learn how the destruction of wild habitats and the use of pesticides is affecting insects. They will learn what we can do as consumers and campaigners. AND they will discover how to create wild places for insects. This book is perfect for young conservationists who want to improve our world and ensure a healthy future for the smallest and most endangered members of the animal kingdom.

In this delightful, science-packed picture book, readers will join two groups of young friends as they each plant a tree and then share their excitement through a series of penpal letters. In the UK, the friends plant an acorn and share all the facts about how their oak tree will become a maker of oxygen, a cleaner of the air, a feeder of the soil and a home for thousands of tiny creatures. And in Senegal, in the Sahel region of Africa, the friends plant an acacia tree that will become a source of income for the family and part of the Great Green Wall that will stretch across Africa, protecting the Sahel from the Sahara Desert. This uplifting story will give readers plenty of information about trees and includes a PLANT YOUR OWN TREE activity.
