Ponds and rivers are wonderful places to sit and watch wildlife, and this book is a simple introduction to these freshwater habitats for inquisitive young children. It takes a look at what you might expect to find in these environments, an array of fascinating facts, the life cycle of a frog, and a guide to some common water birds. There is also a what to spot? gallery with easy and hard plants and animals to find and tick off. When children have had enough of exploring outside, there are more than 30 stickers to use on the fold-out play scene at the back of the book

AD 400. Rome and its Empire are failing • Veteran cavalry commander Marcus Flavius Victor sets out with his regiment to make what may be his final tour of the forts along Hadrian's Wall • Through a combination of military prowess, brutality and bribery, Marcus has spent twenty years keeping the savage Picts at bay. Feared by his enemies and hated by his superiors, his strength of will is the only thing that has held the disgruntled, poorly paid garrisons of the Wall in place as the failing Roman Empire's grip on Britannia weakened • Yet as this tour of the wall progresses, it becomes increasingly clear that this is more than a routine inspection. Why is Marcus stripping the defences of cavalry to strengthen his own force? Is he negotiating with the Picts - or conspiring with them? And who is the mysterious figure who follows Marcus' every move and yet hides in the shadows? • Segeduno, Cilurno, Brocolitia, Vindolanda: each fort holds memories and friendships, hides rivals, or conceals enemies
