Download or read book Dumbo Octopuses Do Your Kids Know This written by Tanya Turner and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-10-25 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dumbo Octopuses are the rarest kind of Octopus - that's why not too many people are aware of their existence. You might be thinking to yourself - why is it called "Dumbo"? Well, if you are familiar with Walt Disney's Dumbo, you will understand why. In the animated movie entitled Dumbo, Dumbo is a baby elephant with unusually big ears. At first, his big ears seemed like a problem because the elephant was always being teased about them. But then, Dumbo finally learned to use its ears to fly - yes, to fly. All Dumbo needed to do was to flap his ears and he could lift himself off the ground. Dumbo Octopuses are called as such because they have fins that look like ears. Obviously these are not really ears, but fins. However, when you look at the fins which are located just above their eyes, they do look like ears because of their shape and location. If you want to know more about this unique creature, keep reading. This book will take you into the wonderful world of Dumbo Octopuses.

Book excerpt: We've messed up. Our Earth is in trouble. Human Nature is your guide to saving it. In a thoughtful and witty reimagining of environmental rhetoric, Elliot Connor explores how recasting the human character could save our fellow animals. Illustrated with counting toads, gambling monkeys and Tinder-using rhinos, the narrative sets out to fill the gaps in our ecological IQ and to show how animals make us human. Just how dumb were dinosaurs? What is the Loch Ness monster really? And which insect sting feels like a running hair dryer dropped into your bath? These important questions and more will be answered. Did you know that war saved our whales, that playgrounds protect parrots or that crushing coral helps it grow? Conservation is chaotic, so Elliot Connor's lively mix of anecdotes, historical tales and future forecasts provides fresh clarity. A humbling and inspiring read, Human Nature reveals how nature shapes us and how we can help it in return. Understanding animals can unlock advances in quantum technology, a cure for cancer or even immortality. Slime mould can improve our transport routes without having a brain. Isn't that worth reading about?

Book excerpt: The World’s Most Pointless Animals is a witty, quirky, colorfully-illustrated book featuring fascinating facts about some very silly animals…who we find are perhaps not so pointless after all. From familiar animals like giraffes (who don’t have any vocal cords) through to those that surely should not even exist, such as the pink fairy armadillo (absurdly huge front claws, super tough protective shell in baby pink, particularly susceptible to stress), our planet is full of some pretty weird and wonderful animals. For example: Koalas spend up to 18 hours a day asleep! Pandas are born bright pink, deaf, and blind. Dumbo octopuses flap their big fin-like ears to move around. A Narwhal’s tusk grows through its upper lip—ouch! With hilarious text throughout and bright, contemporary illustrations, this guide to absurdly awesome animals contains funny labelled diagrams and some excellent made-up Latin names (n.b. the jellyfish’s scientific name is not actually wibblious wobblious ouchii). Carrying an important message of celebrating diversity and differences, The World’s Most Pointless Animals inspires a drive to conserve our amazing planet and the creatures we’re lucky enough to share it with. Quirky Creatures is a series dedicated to seeking out the weird and wonderful denizens of the natural world and explaining why they are so strange, from the ridiculous to the truly terrifying.

Download or read book The BBC National Short Story Award 2019 written by Lucy Caldwell and published by Comma Press. This book was released on 2019-09-06 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Including the winning story, 'The Invisible' by Jo Lloyd! A young boy takes delight in his mother’s ability to shapeshift from one animal to another, only realising how odd she is when it comes to parents’ evening . . . The values of a small farming village are challenged by talk of a well-heeled community living on the other side of the lake that only one person can see . . . A writer researching the life of a 19th century child custody reformer discovers all too many parallels between that century and ours . . . The stories shortlisted for the 2019 BBC National Short Story Award with Cambridge University variously explore the sanctity of the home and family, and the instinct to defend what’s closest to us. Against a backdrop of danger or division, characters sometimes struggle – like the 15-year-old charged with looking after her siblings whilst her mother works through the night – and sometimes succumb – like the young woman who allows herself to be manipulated by an older, richer man. But in each case, these stories demonstrate what Nikki Bedi argues in her introduction: short stories are not a warm-up act, they’re the main event. 'Bright examples of what it means to write short fiction, and to write it well.' - STORGY 'As ever, the BBC National Short Story Award has an intriguing shortlist... The winner is an entirely beguiling story' - Daily Mail
