Our best-selling book celebrates diversity & explains evolutionary adaptations along with messages on conservation & respecting difference, in a fun way.
Worth a look if you think your kids (ages 4-9) will enjoy learning about interesting animal characters that stand out for their weirdness.

A lot of the ideas, animal stories & science in the new Nat Geo #Underdogs series are identical to what’s featured in one of my science books, “Funny Bums, Freaky Beaks”.
I wonder where they got the idea from…? 👀
There’s a lot more in our original best selling book though.

Winter Sleep was my first published children’s book, 1 of 4 in our Seasons in the Wild narrative science story series exploring natural history.
It was long-listed for the Kate Greenaway Medal & is recommmended to primary schools by the literacy charity @clpe.org.uk & it’s been on the curriculum.

Lots of creatures, including hedgehogs, voles, mice, amphibians and reptiles easily mistake bonfires for a cosy place to hunker down for winter.

Can you imagine a shark that’s almost the size of a blue whale? 🐋
New research suggests that prehistoric shark Megalodon might have been even bigger than first thought…
