Product Information

From climate change to animal conservation, these picture books, poetry collections, novels and graphic novels will encourage children and young people to think about and discuss pressing issues about the environment.

It is accepted by you that Daunt Books has no control over additional charges in relation to customs clearance. It might be interesting to compare different badger characters and look at some non-fiction about the wild animals to see if there is a realistic basis for representing badgers with these characteristics.

The authors of In The Forest use the pop-up elements to emphasise what has vanished and what is left. It was such a pleasure to meet you both, and I really appreciated how smoothly and professionally you ran everything. As well as providing plenty of giggles, it also carries a valuable message about the importance of caring appropriately for the environment. Pete is not the reliable source of wisdom and good sense that have been attributed to badgers in other stories.

Emily Gravett's place in the world of children's books is already established but in Tidy she excels herself and will delight new audiences. Emily Gravett's engaging woodland creatures will appeal to fans of such classics as The Animals of Farthing Wood and The Wind in the Willows and the rhythmic, rhyming text is perfect for reading aloud. In Tidy, the badger, Pete initially seems to be helpfully keeping things neat and tidy in the forest.It seems Emily Gravett creates stories that linger, make us think alongside being visually glorious. Lush foliage and delightful characters abound in this cautionary tale of overenthusiastic neatness that delivers its message of environmental preservation with subtlety and humour.

Pete hoovering up the catalogue reference on the final page of Tidy suggests that he hasn’t reformed entirely and is always going to be tempted to interfere with things that should be left alone. This enables her to photograph objects, change their size and move them around the page until she is happy with the result.

The attention to detail is fascinating and the message, like the other books, is about our own part in the impact on the environment and the changes we might need to make.It has no words and uses beautifully created collage to show the progress of a scene from a window showing creeping urbanisation, over a period of possibly twenty years. From the creator of Meerkat Mail and Dogs, comes a very funny rhyming woodland story about the perils of being too tidy.
