After Everest by Sherpa Tensing
It's Fandex reinvented, in a brand-new format designed just for curious kids
The bestselling Fandex format is been given a complete overhaul to make it just right for children ages 8 and up--the illustrations are brighter and bolder illustrations, the die-cuts simplified to make the cards easier to leaf through, and the text is livelier and age-appropriate. But the unique promise of Fandex is right here--a facts that fit in your hand die-cut card deck format packed with fascinating facts and images about topics kids love.
Like Dinosaurs, of course. Adapted from Fandex: Dinosaurs, with over 200,000 copies in print (and which will will go out of print with the publication of the kids title), Dinosaurs features 48 of the most amazing creatures that once roamed the earth, and still rule our imaginations. Kids will learn about the pigeon-sized Archaeopteryx, which may have been a step in the evolution from dinosaur to bird, with feathers and a wishbone but the bony tail, teeth, and claws of a reptile. The tank-like Ankylosaurus, which evaded predators with the help of knobby scutes, or plates of bone, covering its entire body except for the belly. And the enormous Brachiosaurus, which scientists believe could live as long as 100 years In addition to profiles of dinosaur species, the deck includes a timeline of the Mesozoic Era, a glossary, size comparisons, and more.
In Ocean, kids will discover why the oceans are filled biological wonders that we're only now starting to understand. Like the Curvier's Beaked Whale, which has been recorded diving as far as 9,816 feet below the surface, more than any other mammal. The ancient Coelacanth--often called a living fossil--which has changed very little in 400,000,000 million years and was once assumed to be extinct. And Giant Kelp, found in cool coastal waters filled with nutrients that help it grow up to two feet every day--that's right, two feet In addition to profiles of ocean species, the deck includes information about ocean depth zones, ecosystems, a glossary, and more.
