Walk This Wild World

Walk This Wild World

Illustrated by Sam Brewster
Written by Kate Baker
Published by Big Picture Press


Walk This Wild World is a stunningly illustrated, lift-the-flap board book. Each page spread explores a new habitat and country and offers a variety of animals, reptiles and insects, and even plant life. Flaps of different sizes are spread out and offer interesting facts.




Sam Brewster's graphic style is distinctive and works extremely well with this style of book. From Peccaries and Kangaroo rats in the Sonoran dessert, to the blue morpho, the largest butterfly in the Amazon. You'll discover a huge selection of creatures in a variety of countries such as the Serengeti, the Spanish wetlands, the windy coast of the Hebrides, a vast green Russian steppe, to the snowy Himalayan peaks among a few others. There is also a world map at the end to show the journey that you have taken.

Though Aoife may be too young to understand the facts, she is still enjoying this book, finding the flaps and trying to learn the animal names. It's one she likes to pick up daily.







It's a beautiful discovery book, that's high quality, that any young or old animal lover will enjoy exploring!

Animalium Activity Book

Animalium Activity Book

Illustrated by Katie Scott 
First published by Big Picture Press



Wow! You’re going to love this Animalium Activity Book, its bursting with interesting facts, fun puzzles and will definitely offer hours of entertainment to little artists. 

This beautiful activity book is meant to complement the popular hardback, Animalium by Katie Scott. Part of the Welcome to the Museum series and recommended at ages 7+. Filled with creative colouring, fun drawing activities and design, as well as fascinating facts and puzzles from around the world. Answers can be found on the back of puzzle pages. Each activity page is stylishly laid out and would look great on any child’s wall.





Katie Scott’s detailed illustrations are stunning and I love the muted colours used for the backgrounds and borders. I’m going to find it hard giving this to Aoife when she’s older, as I’m very tempted to complete it myself! As an animal lover, I found this extremely interesting and loved looking through it. I think I’m going to be buying Animalium and look forward to further exploring the animal kingdom with Aoife.

Animalium Activity Book is available in all good bookshops and to buy online.
