Schwimmen? Das können nicht nur Fische! Nein, alles Mögliche kann schwimmen. Reptilien zum Beispiel. Schildkröten, Schlangen oder Krokodile. Und Vögel natürlich. Pinguine, Enten oder Schwäne. Aber auch Pflanzen wie die Seerose. Fabelwesen wie Meerjungfrauen, Seeungeheuer oder der Froschkönig. Dinosaurier, klar. Hunde und Pferde sowieso. Oder Menschen, die schnorcheln oder auf Luftmatratzen über die Wellen gleiten. Und natürlich Schiffe, vom Piratensegler bis zum U-Boot. All das schwimmt und taucht und es gibt manches zu erklären und vieles zu erzählen! Und das steht alles in diesem Buch. Ausstattung: durchgehend vierfarbig illustriert

"Ow! Ow! That hurts!" Just listen to that wailing. A little Dragon from a cave has a toothache-and no idea that a headstrong little Princess is about to take him in hand. Now, now, little Dragon, that's enough of that! Take this toothbrush and toothpaste and our lesson can begin. The next thing we know, the weeping, messy little Dragon will be a friend for all seasons!

He will eat green vegetables and exchange his boredom for sports. Would you like to join the Dragon in learning about a healthy lifestyle? You would? Well then let the little Princess show you how it's done

Welcome to this botanical garden, where human feet have not trodden for many years. Actually, one has-or rather a pair of them have. They belong to a passionate botanist who spends all his time in the company of flowers. He does not seem interested in people, as he feels himself to be a plant rather than a member of the species homo sapiens. He may seem strange-or even scary, like anything unknown-but rest assured that he is completely harmless just like his plants are . . . unless you're a fly or a beetle, which his carnivorous plants love to eat, that is. No worries, those meat lovers might possibly snatch at your snack if you have a ham sandwich or a sausage in your bag, but that's all. Though some of the plants from this forgotten botanical garden look predatory at first sight, even spooky, they are still just plants that can never catch you. Enough talking, though! Keep your hats on as our tour of the botanical garden begins . . .

A sequel to Encyclopedia of Ordinary Things, which appeared in Wall Street Journal review.We live in our houses, cook in our kitchens, relax in our living rooms. But how did people live before the invention of the bathroom? What was the bedroom like in ancient times? Did our ancestors use wallpaper? How was prehistoric laundry done, and when did people first cook on a real stove? Inquisitive readers large and small will find reliable answers to these questions and many more in this very book, so pull back the curtain on the history of the ordinary house and the things inside it.

They're all around us. We use them daily, pass them by, and it never occurs to us to stop and think about where they came from. What, you ask? The most ordinary things in the world, of course! Shoes, umbrellas, toothbrushes, toothpicks, socks, dolls, and so on and so forth. How did they come to be? Who invented them, how did they develop and change over time? If you'd like to know the answer to these questions, to peek behind the curtain that drapes the most ordinary stuff in mystery, then definitely read on and learn the story of common things.
