Welcome to the amazing world of flags! Did you know that each flag is actually a picture that sends a message to everyone who sees it?
In The Flag Book, Lonely Planet Kids introduces you to the flags of every country in the world, from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, and tells you what their design, colors, and images represent, along with lots of other incredible facts.
What's the only country that doesn't have a rectangular flag? Why does Hawaii's state flag feature the UK's Union Jack in one corner? And what do the 13 stripes of the USA's Star Spangled Banner represent? You'll find out the answer to all these and much, much more.
And then we'll show you the other fascinating ways flags are used throughout the world. Learn the International Code of Flag Symbols to communicate with ships at sea; read about flags used in sports, like Formula 1's checkered flag; marvel at flags commemorating world records and incredible human achievements; and peer with a microscope at the planet's smallest flag, which is no wider than a human hair.

Lonely Planet Kids' How Animals Build is a beautifully illustrated lift-the-flap hardback that explores the incredible world of animal architects. Children can open flaps and unfold spreads to discover amazing animal homes up high, underground, on land, and under the sea. From spider webs and rabbit warrens, to bird nests and ant colonies, and even coral reefs and beaver lodges, we reveal the secrets to these extraordinary structures and how they're built.
Do bees need cement mixers to build hives? Do beavers use cranes to construct dams? No, of course not! Like many animals, they're building geniuses who don't need building site tools to create incredible work. Welcome to nature's very own, super-clever world of construction.

Today I'm a Bear cub. I want to hug. I wouldn't mind a cuddly squeeze. I'm Bear cub, so yes, please!
Many of the anthropomorphic animals have exaggerated features--big, round eyes; puckered lips, and expressive faces--which aid in readers' understanding of the feelings, as the animals mimic the humans....A useful tool for caregivers and teachers working with the preschool crowd.--Kirkus Reviews Developing emotional and social intelligence is a huge part of young children's development, and parents are often left grappling with how best to discuss feelings of shyness, social anxiety and respect for physical boundaries with their children. Sometimes I'm a Bear Cub gives young children the tools to understand and express their own emotions, as well as understanding that other children have the same feelings as them - and they might want their space, too. With input from a child psychologist, it provides ways of expressing and understanding a range of feelings. The final spread provides notes for parents and caregivers on how to use the book to encourage children to express their feelings.
