Some reviews of our book, Funny Bums, Freaky Beaks.
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.

Keep your eyes out for a truly incredible sight if you are on the south coast near Poole in coming weeks.
People have been spotting a pair of White-tailed Eagles! Her partner was sat in a nearby tree.
Look out for them flying low over the water, hunting for gulls.

Our science book, Busy Spring, made it onto the Children’s Book Magazine list of top nature titles.
And it won the most innovative non fiction book of the year award, chosen by 400 #kidlit judges.
That’s a little win for spreading more interest in ecology & conservation. 🌱🌎

It may look like a soggy queen bumblebee needs help if she is resting but this is normal behaviour - it’s best to leave her be, unless she is in danger of being squished - then just move her gently to somewhere sheltered or near /on flowers.
