Worms have been around since the days of the dinosaurs... eating their way through giant, steamy dung heaps and turning them into food for plants - nature's recyclers.
Sounds simple doesn't it? But the history of the worm has not always been easy, especially when humans built huge cities and started using more and more artificial fertilisers. And yet over 4000 varieties of worms have survived.
Check out how worms have survived through the ages to claim their rightful place among us, as Nature's recyclers. This book charts the worm's progress, from the earliest days to today when, believe it or not, worms are dining and holidaying in 5 star restaurants and resorts. They love it. We are helping them and they are helping us and the planet.
Caren says: Educating our children is never easy. Motivating them to think about the environment and our impact on the planet is even harder. To capture their interest, to spark their enthusiasm, to make them excited, to think and then to actively participate is the key to true learning and understanding. I was determined to create a world class, high quality book that would not just sit on the shelf."
Caren Trafford's style is amusingly quirky, but richly informative. Suitable for primary school aged children.

Most parents these days wish to protect their children from the vast array of unknown and potentially harmful chemicals which are added to many commercially available products or used in the manufacturing process, but it is no easy task with over 100,000 synthetic chemicals available on the market and over 1500 new chemicals being produced annually. Over half of these chemicals have never been tested for their toxicity on the human body.
These chemicals accumulate in the food chain and end up in bodies, they are then passed onto developing children across the placenta, through breast milk, in food and water, or the creams, lotions, soaps and personal care products we lather and bathe them in.
Chemical Free Kids: Raising Healthy Kids In A Toxic World is an important resource for parents which addresses the issue of chemicals and their impact on human health and specifically on children and young people.
Inform yourself on what chemicals you are putting into your own and your children’s bodies with Dr Sarah Lantz Chemical Free Kids: Raising Healthy Kids In A Toxic World.
