Explorers are designed to appeal to all readers aged 6–8: those who are just starting to read alone and more confident readers who are beginning to exercise wider reading and cross-referencing skills. Lively, dramatic artwork scenes draw children into a subject, and each scene is followed by a photographic information spread that gives a wealth of extra detail. As a fun extra element, the reader can follow themed links to access information on related topics. Robots is an adventure into the fascinating world of robotics: how they work, the variety of jobs they can do and robot exploration underwater, in the air and in space.

The PICTURE THIS! series is a brand-new programme of reference books, designed for a new generation of visually-engaged children and inquisitive general readers. Fresh, clean, direct and uncluttered, each spread transforms a core topic into a visual feast of raw facts, figures and statistics relating to the most essential aspects of the subject. The purely graphic approach provides a clear and concise overview, as a jumping-off point to further investigation and cross-referencing. In some ways a visual dictionary, in other ways a revision guide, the quirkily inventive graphics, icons, tables, graphs, maps and step-by-step illustrations are an entertaining way of absorbing information and getting to grips with concepts that can be difficult to understand when explained through a more conventional text-and-image format.

Each book in this lovely series will introduce young readers to different animals that are linked through particular types of behaviour. Full-colour photographs let children see which animal is squawking, jumping, biting or hooting, while simple yet engaging text provides fun facts about each animal – perfect for encouraging a child’s interest and developing their knowledge. Discover nibbling squirrels, munching caterpillars and slurping anteaters in this adorable book about animal dinnertimes!
