Then things go horribly wrong. In this charming little story, the oblivious, amusing hero, Tibbles, discovers a rare species of flightless bird that had never previously been described – the Stephens Island wren. Unfortunately, Tibbles also becomes the cause of the bird’s extinction by preying on them.

Beneath the surface of this whimsically told story is a sophisticated tragicomic plot with a foundation in Greek tragedy. Tibbles’s killing of the Stephens Island wrens led to the eventual extinction of the entire species, and the tragedy is heightened by the fact that Tibbles was not a malicious or malevolent creature, but rather a normal cat behaving according to its instincts. To add insult to injury, Tibbles is not only innocent and ignorant about the effects of her actions; she is also silly, care-free, and wildly unconcerned. This book presents a true story in a subtly comedic light, but the underlying tragedy is still present, emphasizing the unintended consequences of human actions on the environment.

Ultimately, the tale of Tibbles the cat had a silver lining – it brought global awareness to the dangers of introducing non-native animal species to other continents. Beautifully illustrated in a vintage style, with heavy graphic novel elements, this quirky, captivating tale will take readers on an emotional, darkly funny journey of discovery and consequence, all while teaching valuable lessons about the environment and the human impact on it. The book also includes interesting facts about the Stephens Island wren and its discovery.

Tibbles is perfect for children aged 6–9 inclined towards funny stories and deep lessons. Through this unique, engaging, and darkly comedic story, kids will be entertained as they learn about history and conservation, with humor being the sugar that helps the environmentalist medicine go down. Laughing one moment and considering serious issues the next, children will learn about the impact of humans on animal species and the importance of protecting wildlife.

A comprehensive guidebook for kids on proper houseplant care, featuring bold illustrations and engaging infographics. 

Houseplants can add a touch of green to any living space, and caring for them can be a relaxing and rewarding hobby. For kids interested in learning more about plant care, this comprehensive guidebook covers all the basics and more, teaching kids all about the different types of houseplants, their growth habits, and the best practices to care for them. Divided into three sections, How Not to Kill Your Plant provides all the information kids need to ensure their houseplants thrive: 

1. The Basics of Care: Learn about the essential elements of plant care, including watering, lighting, and soil.

2. Encyclopedia of houseplants: Identify and learn about common houseplants, including their ideal growing conditions and common issues to look out for.

3. Cultivation practice: Discover tips and tricks for repotting, propagation, and other plant care techniques.

Highlights include:

• A glossary of basic plant terminology (e.g., substrate, fertilizer, humidity, etc.)
• Step-by-step instructions for taking care of houseplants
• Advice on choosing the right plant
• Various problems you can expect to encounter – and ways to solve them

Images accompany the text in a fun yet logical and orderly fashion, such as this numbered list for repotting:

1. Water the plant well the day before repotting. This will make it easier to remove it from its pot.
2. Remove the plant from its pot.
3. As you carefully release the roots, remove old, excess soil from the plant.
4. Remove old, rotting roots.
5. Having selected a pot with a drainage hole and of appropriate size, wash this pot in soapy water.
6. Put a drain (e.g., a layer of expanding clay balls or pebbles) in the bottom of the pot. (Plants watered in a tray do not need a drain.)
7. Add a small layer of the new substrate.
8. Place the plant in the new pot.
9. Fill any remaining space in the pot with the new substrate.
10. Tamp the soil down gently with your fingers, ensuring that the plant is well anchored. Don’t fill the pot with soil right to the top, but to 1 cm below it – you must leave space for watering.
11. Water the plant well (unless it is a cactus or succulent – in which case wait 2 weeks before watering).
12. Your plant has been potted. Hurray!

Plant care instructions are likewise fun yet clear and actionable, such as this one for the Cactus:

• Fertilize max. 1x per month with special fertilizer for cacti.
• In spring or summer, transplant to a terracotta pot. Do not water for 2 weeks after repotting.
• Propagate by offsets.
• It needs an airy, permeable substrate, like one with sand.

Thousands of years ago, the first tribes arrived in the Balkan Peninsula, laying the foundations of Europe’s oldest civilization: Greece, which gave the world democracy, as well as endless knowledge of mathematics, architecture, military affairs, and philosophy.

Modern scientists can all trace their lineage back to Greek mathematicians and philosophers, and modern Greece is littered with the remnants of beautiful temples and ancient buildings that shaped the taste and style of modern architects. Let’s travel far into the past and discover how the Ancient Greeks lived, worked, fought, and created art.

This little pop-up book by artist Katerina Karolik is about a seemingly ordinary object—the tea or coffee cup. Seen through an artist‘s eyes, however, everyday items can take on new and unexpected forms.
