The book examines the ways we move across our planet on land, on and in the water, in the air, and in space. And it looks at the science that lets us! A combination of action photography and both factual and cartoon illustrations,bring this STEM-based project alive.
A brave Adventure and his colleague manage to escape a dangerous situation in Joe and Dr. Bea enter a cave on a quest to discover the secretive creatures that inhabit it. As they pass through tunnels and chambers, the encounter the rich stalactite and stalagmite formations that develop in many limestone caves. Descending deeper, they find what they came to see and more!
Joe and Dr. Bea will track the course of a river from its origins as a small spring in the mountains to its mouth, the point where it enters the sea. They are keen to see how the river changes and what happens along its banks. But their main purpose is to find out how a dam that has blocked its waters is affecting the waters on the other side. Along the way, they must navigate some dangerous rapids.
A brave Adventure and his colleague manage to escape a dangerous situation near a Volcano. Set in a challenging environment where essential STEM skills come in handy. Joe and Dr. Bea are about to climb the slopes of a volcano which they suspect might erupt very soon. They take all their special equipment with them so they can measure changes in the slope, the heat and the gas coming from its mouth. They know a lot about the world's different volcanoes and how they behave - but the two scientists are taken by surprise and must rely upon a robot to help them.
Joe and Dr. Bea have been chosen to train as astronauts after which they will visit the International Space Station. There they will carry out some useful scientific experiments. It's an exciting challenge as they must cope with space travel, microgravity, cramped conditions - and in a dangerous moment, a meteor bombardment that threatens to knock Joe away from the spaceship.
Scientists tell us that 99.99% of ALL animal and plant species that have ever existed ARE NOW EXTINCT. What does 'extinct' mean and why does it happen? This book looks at the strange and very different kinds of animals that have walked the planet and which we will never see.

This diary reveals the secret hopes and dreams of a rather green and warty toad. Although his life is slightly damp and dull, it is his great hope that one day he will meet a princess and that one kiss will change his life.Meanwhile there is babysitting to do, and friends to meet at ‘The Knot’, where everyone has a good croak.

Where do you live – in an apartment building, a townhouse, a cottage in the country? Sounds nice but it’s a bit ordinary, isn’t it? What if you lived somewhere really special – in a fairy tale castle with tall spires and steeples, for instance?
Imagine living and working in the same building! Many people have to make a journey to work each day, but in the windmill, you would just you have to climb some stairs. And you’d have to climb even more stairs if you lived and worked in a lighthouse.
Where do you live – in an apartment building, a townhouse, a cottage in the country? Sounds nice but it’s a bit ordinary, isn’t it?
Some people live in a house that’s close to the ground, in a small cottage or a single-story home. Others enjoy living high above the ground.
