What Is Politics? Why Should we Care? And Other Big Questions
Politics, in its widest sense, affects us all, every day. What if there were no politics? What would that look like? What does it mean to be political or non-political and what effect do each of these positions have?
Aimed at children aged 9 and up, this book is a highly topical look at how politics affects everyone in society. It looks at the whole political spectrum, in countries around the world and examines what politics means in different contexts and situations. What forms can political action take, and what difference does it make?
There are contributions from a range of writers, who, along with the authors, discuss how their ideas of what politics is and can do have been shaped by their life experiences. Readers are encouraged to think for themselves about the issues discussed and decide how or whether they would like to take part in politics at some level.

Kay’s Marvellous Medicine: A Gross and Gruesome History of the Human Body
The brand-new, hilarious book from bestselling, record-breaking author Adam Kay.
The olden days were pretty fun if you liked wearing chainmail or chopping people’s heads off but there was one TINY LITTLE problem back then . . . doctors didn’t have the slightest clue about how our bodies worked.
It’s time to find out why Ancient Egyptians thought the brain was just a useless load of old stuffing that might as well be chucked in the bin, why teachers forced their pupils to smoke cigarettes, why hairdressers would cut off their customers’ legs, and why people used to get paid for farting. (Unfortunately that’s no longer a thing – sorry.)
You’ll get answers to questions like:
Why did patients gargle with wee?
How did a doctor save people’s lives using a washing machine, a can of beans and some old sausages?
What was the great stink? (No, it’s not what doctors call your bum.)If you’re sure you’re ready, then pop a peg on your nose (there was a lot of stinky pus back then), pull on your wellies (there was a lot of poo there too), wash your hands (because they certainly didn’t) and explore this gross and gruesome history of the human body!
Praise for Kay’s Anatomy:
‘An enjoyably gross look at the human body. Hours of gruesome fun guaranteed’ i
‘Like listening to a teacher who makes pupils fall about’ Sunday Times
‘Totally brilliant!’ Jacqueline Wilson
‘Fun and informative’ Malorie Blackman
‘Very funny – this exciting book is bound to inspire the next generation of medics’ Sunday ExpressRead more

The Safety Book – Strangers and Dangers (Big Concepts for Little Ones)
Told through the way back home from kindergarten, Strangers and Dangers follows the story of Guy and Tammy, along with their Mommy, daddy, close family members, the Ice cream man, and the candy lady.
Mommy is picking up Guy and Tammy from their kindergarten. As they walk back home, Tammy, the girl who loves to hug everyone, and Guy, the boy who doesn’t like to be hugged, argue about hugging people or not. Mommy teaches the children that they can’t just hug anyone –even if they seem nice enough.
But when they meet some people they know in the neighborhood, and the children do not know how to greet them: with a kiss, hug, handshake, or high-five, Mommy will teach them exactly what to do.
If your child doesn’t understand how important it is to have physical limits, Strangers and Dangers is the perfect book to teach them the following:
-
How to greet family members and strangers
-
How to interact with Strangers who offer candy
-
How to interact with strangers who ask for help
-
How to say NO to any undesired physical interaction
-
How to choose the right person to ask for help when in need
-
What to do when the child is at home and the doorbell rings
The Big Safety Books of Strangers and Dangers is an essential guide for children to understand the importance of personal safety and how to protect themselves from strangers.
Written in an easy-to-understand language and illustrated with colorful pictures, this book teaches children the difference between good and bad strangers, how to recognize danger signs, and what to do in different situations.
This book will empower children with the knowledge and skills they need to stay safe when they’re out and about. It’s a must-have for every child and parent to read together
This children’s book is ideal for:
-
Parents who want to teach their children how to set physical limits with Strangers
-
Families who have recently moved into a new house/ neighborhood/ school
-
Children who love to hug different people they meet
-
Children uncomfortable with the idea of physical intimacy
It is hard to differentiate between dangerous strangers and friendly people. Join Guy and Tammy as they discover how to deal with Strangers and Dangers and learn that sometimes dangerous people can seem very friendly and wear nice clothes, and therefore, it is hard to know who can pose a danger.
If you want your child to learn with Guy and Tammy how to behave in the presence of strangers, then add Strangers and Dangers to your cart now!
