Summary:
Reprinted for the first time since its original publication in 1969, David Hockney's illustrations for the tales of the Brothers Grimm are like no other version. Although inspired by earlier illustrators of the tales, including Arthur Rackham and Edmund Dulac, Hockney's extraordinary etchings reimagine these strange and supernatural stories for a modern audience, capturing their distinctive atmosphere in a style that is recognizably the artist's own. Hockney's book brings together some well-known tales, such as Rapunzel and Rumpelstiltskin, with others that are less familiar, like Old Rinkrank.

Summary:
As the name suggests, crossbills have a crossed beak so they can crush pine cones and feed off the pine kernels inside. Pelicans instead use their big bucket beak to scoop up the fish and swallow them whole for a quick snack. The endless different shapes and sizes of beaks are determined by what they eat, how they eat it, the natural environment and the species they belong to. Oscar Bolton Green’s clear-cut line drawings and brilliant colours explain the many different variations with the same simplicity as the accompanying text. His immediate, essential style, with its patches of colour and clarity of line, shows how tiny hummingbirds stretch into the flowers to draw out the nectar and how graceful flamingo dips its spoon-shaped beak beneath the surface of the water.

Summary:
In the mild, humid climate of the Amazon forest, the sloth spends its entire life wrapped round the same tree, impassive and untouched by the light and sounds around it. It sleeps on regardless of the sudden arrival of the deforestation machinery: caterpillars, trucks, excavators and mechanical shears that rumble through the forest, scaring off all the other animals.The book tells the story of the sloth and its proverbial slowness, which is now placing it in danger from man’s short-sighted and tragic encroachment. Fourteen pop-up pages examine the gradual erosion of the Amazon forest. As we leaf through the pages, animals and trees appear before our eyes and in our hands, as if we were in a natural environment that is constantly changing. This book was printed with environmentally friendly soy ink on paper from responsible forests. Every year 13 million hectares of forest disappear. 90% of the deforestation is illegal and is threatening the survival of numerous species, including the Brazilian three-toed sloth. However, there is still time to prevent this destruction.
