no edit summary
|genre=Animals and Wildlife
|summary=Many children love animals, but they love baby animals even more. Would you rather watch a dog or watch a puppy? A cat or a kitten? A meerkat or a smaller meerkat? The answer is a no brainer to most children who enjoy the wide-eyed stumbling of youth that is not dissimilar to their own. However, someone needs to give them the facts about baby animals and who better than wildlife presenter Chris Packham?

|isbn=PrasadamHall_Pairs
|title=Pairs in the Garden
|author=Smriti Prasadam-Halls and Lorna Scobie
|rating=4
|genre=Animals and Wildlife
|summary=''Pairs in the Garden'' is a fun book/game hybrid for little fingers into creepy crawlies. It's a lift-the-flap book with a difference, because not only do you get to see what's underneath, you then must see if you can find a matching pair on the same page. But beware! You cannot just use the process of elimination because there are 7 flaps on each page, but only 3 pairs to find. One poor creature is all alone with no partner.

|isbn=DK_Animals
|title=Knowledge Encyclopedia: Animal!
|author=DK
|rating=4.5
|genre=Animals and Wildlife
|summary=The encyclopedia may be an informative type of book, but it's not always the most interesting. A series of dry facts plastered all over the page with nary an image in sight. This dry type of learning is never going to work with some of our modern youth, more used to spending time looking for imaginary animals on their phones, than researching real ones in a book. If you want to capture their attention, you must first draw their eyes. DK have attempted this in one of the most colourful and vibrant encyclopedias you are likely to see.

|isbn=Niemann Trees
|title=A Tale of Trees: The Battle to save Britain's Ancient Woodland
|author=Derek Niemann
|rating=4
|genre=Animals and Wildlife
|summary=Ancient British woodland is something very special indeed. It captures our imagination, connects us to nature and fuels our creativity. The British have an almost symbiotic relationship with woodland and most of us have a small local patch where we can get away from the hustle and bustle of the modern world. It's hard to imagine life without our native woods, and yet in the 40 years following the war, we lost more ancient woodland than in the previous 400. The destruction was large-scale and merciless and by 1985, we'd already lost a third of our ancient woodland. Predictions for the future were bleak: find a way to halt the decline or there will be nothing left outside nature reserves by 2020
