Welcome to The Salariya Book Company’s new trade highlights catalogue. If you’re after something to keep the little ones entertained during the summer holidays, then we have Little Bear’s Summer Fun Book, which contains an assortment of fun activities and 6 pages of stickers featuring the beloved characters from BAFTA‑award-winning author Jane Hissey’s Old Bear series. Ideal for a long car journey or as an antidote to boredom! And continuing the activity trend, we have an activity book themed around time-telling with the Scribble Monsters characters: Telling The Time Sticker Book. We also have two beautifully illustrated volumes of Bible Stories, retold in simple but engaging modern English for young readers, featuring the most important and famous stories from the Old and New Testaments. There are also new additions to some of our brilliant existing series: You Wouldn’t Want To Be In A Tank In World War Two! and You Wouldn’t Want To Be A Prisoner in the Tower of London! have been created in partnership with The Tank Museum and Historic Royal Palaces. All The Way Down: Dinosaurs and Other Prehistoric Creatures takes an in-depth, visually stunning look at the age of the dinosaurs from its beginning to its end and was written in consultation with a top palaeontologist: Stephen Brusatte.

How to Write Well is a fantastic introduction to the basics of grammar and punctuation, featuring accessible and simple explanations of the building blocks of sentences and clear English, with dozens of activities that allow children to apply the knowledge they’ve learned. Looking to the end of the year, we have a Halloween-themed title called The Monster Ball: a collection of ever-so-slightly spooky stories about a mysterious manor and its creepy, kooky inhabitants. And for Christmas, we have The Christmas Chronicles, an advent calendar-style picture book featuring a cast of festive characters at the North Pole during the run-up to Christmas Day. With more than 500 titles to choose from in Salariya’s wide-ranging imprints, we have innovative books which will appeal to both avid and reluctant readers. I do hope you will enjoy our books as much as we have enjoyed creating them.

Did you know that your ‘back bone’ or spine is really a line of many bones called vertebrae linked together? Or that gravity presses your vertebrae together during the day, so that you’re shorter when you go to bed than when you got up in the morning? Or that a mammoth’s tusks kept growing throughout its life? Some of the longest mammoth tusks found are 4 metres long. There are many more amazing facts like these to be found in Life-Sized Bones. It’s an eye-opening guide to the structure of human and animal skeletal systems, featuring to-scale images of different types of bones reproduced in striking, lithograph-style artwork, complete with measurements.

Through the Wall

Award winning author

Jonathan Standing

Through the Wall is the winner of the 2020 English 4-11 Picture Book Awards (Fiction 7–11 category). This powerful graphic novel tells the story of a giant wall separating two civilisations: one of blue people and one of yellow. Each side is forbidden to speak to the other, because they are sworn enemies. One day, a boy and a girl from opposite sides of the wall meet and decide to break down the boundaries that divide their peoples forever. The debut book from the hugely talented Jonathan Standing, this is a stunningly-illustrated story with an important message about overcoming prejudice and fear of the other. He felt shy and nervous. He didn’t know what to say. But before long the boy and the girl from the other side were chatting to each other like old friends.

They gabbled on about the fun things that they liked doing and all the fun that they could have together…

Communication with the other side is impossible.

Until they remembered… the Wall between them.

They do not understand our language.
