|title=Wilfred and Olbert’s Totally Wild Chase

|rating=4

|genre=Children's Non-Fiction

|summary=Meet Wilfred and Osbert. They're not only the kind to completely flout the rules of the natural history explorer's club they belong to, but when they both spot an undiscovered butterfly together, they are the kind to fight tooth and claw to be the first to lay claim to it alone, and devil take the other one. What they don't know is that the drama that ensues when they're tailing this particular specimen will involve no end of peril – nearly drowning, almost being eaten by a lion, crashing a hot air balloon one of them just so happened to have in his pocket… This, then, is a fun and silly biology lesson – but that's only the best kind, surely?

|author=Libby Walden and Stephanie Fizer Coleman

|summary=Having been banned from the Tate Modern by my partner for making too many snarky remarks, I am not sure that I ever want to think or make like an artist. My unartistic brain is unable to comprehend most art. I see a rain dirty valley, but the artists sells you Brigadoon. A lot of what makes art great is knowing what it is meant to represent; even I have been swayed on occasion once I have been informed. Therefore, to teach art appreciation to a young audience will hold them in good stead and could also be great fun.

~~|title=Children's Illustrated Thesaurus~~

~~|rating=4.5~~

~~|genre=Children's Non-Fiction~~

|summary=One of the most valuable literary skills which children can learn is how to use reference books. As a child every question which I began with ''how do you spell...?'' would be answered with ''EXACTLY as it says in the dictionary''. This was fine, but the family's Collins Little Gem Dictionary didn't encourage exploration, not least because the font was small and difficult to read. Fortunately those times have now changed and reference book for children are now much more inviting. Not every book comes with a set of instructions but it's worth studying the ''How to...'' section, not least because similar systems are used in other reference books.
