1001 Things To Spot At Christmas
Un album à couverture matelassée qui réunit une douzaine d'aquarelles graciles dans lesquelles les jeunes lecteurs sont invités à retrouver les divers éléments présentés en marge. Au fil des pages, le père Noël ouvre aux enfants les portes de son univers, leur donnant tour à tour à découvrir l'animation qui règne dans son atelier, dans l'étable des rennes, dans la cuisine de son épouse, au bal d'hiver, dans ses vacances sous les tropiques ou encore dans le cadre de sa grande tournée annuelle. Un livre-jeu sans prétention dont les joyeuses mises en scène, débordantes de vie et de mouvement, foisonnent de fées et de petits lutins facétieux. La couverture est quant à elle rehaussée de feuilles argentées. [SDM].
Dinosaurs
Written by one of the world’s foremost experts on dinosaurs, this award-winning title—honored by the NSTA and the AAAS—is an essential addition to any dinophile’s library, regardless of age! Using casual language aimed at young people and non-scientists, it's a guide to all aspects of dinosaur science: how we figure out what dinosaurs looked like, how they lived, how they evolved, how they continue to live among us as birds, and much, much more. It also includes brief entries on all 800+ "named" species of Mesozoic dinosaurs, as well as sidebars by 33 world-famous paleontologists—among them Robert T. Bakker, Jack Horner, Mark Norell, Scott Sampson, and Philip Currie. With 428-pages of lavish, museum-quality illustrations, and an exhaustive Web site maintained by the author of supplemental chapter updates, this the perfect gift that will educate AND entertain for many, many, MANY hours! (And if that isn’t enough, the jacket has a spectacular poster printed on the inside.)
