Rosie the Rhino and her friends live on a game reserve in Botswana, Africa. The other rhinos in her herd say that it’s silly she’s friends with animals other than rhinos, but she pays them no mind—in fact, her best friends are giraffes, a monkey, and a mouse. One day Rosie is walking back to her herd after a long day of playing with her four friends, only to discover the rhinos had been captured by poachers! The friends rally together as many animals as they can to go save Rosie’s family and fight the evil poachers. Will the power of friendship help them succeed? Rosie the Rhino and the Great Escape is perfect for animal lovers of all ages, and children will love the beautiful illustrations inside.

The story of Rosie, the rhino who got out of her cage, bought a pink hat and went on many adventures. Poor Mr. Tuttle, the zoo keeper had a long, hard search, but it all turns out well.

Rosie Rhinoceros feels too big next to all her little animal friends, until Elephant asks her help precisely because of her size.

The Rhino has lovely skin that fits just right. But what happens when he spies the cake that Man just made? A special cake with currant and plums in it...This tale is wonderfully illustrated and the first of Kipling's Just So Stories to feature in the Usborne Reading Programme - stories specially written for children who are learning to read.

The rhinoceros is an iconic animal. Three species once inhabited South Asia, two of which disappeared over a century ago. This survey aims to reconstruct the historical distribution of these large mammals resulting in new maps showing the extent of their occurrences. Thousands of sources varied in time and nature are used to study the interactions between man and rhinoceros. The text is supported by over 700 illustrations and 38 maps showing the importance of the rhinoceros in the scientific and cultural fabric of Asia and beyond.

"We believe that every young person should experience the world beyond the classroom as an essential part of learning and personal development, whatever their age, ability or circumstances. Learning outside the classroom is about raising achievement through an organised, powerful approach to learning in which direct experience is of prime importance." LOTC Initiative manifesto In Learning Outside the Primary Classroom, the educationalist and writer Fred Sedgwick explores in a practical way the many opportunities for intense learning that children and teachers can find outside the confines of the usual learning environment, the classroom. This original work is based on tried and tested methods from UK primary schools. The author draws on current concerns in the educational world regarding outdoor learning as exemplified by the eight sector Learning Outside the Classroom (LOtC) initiative (supported by Ofsted), but remains refreshingly independent in approach. Using a metaphor of concentric circles Learning Outside the Primary Classroom starts with a brief opening chapter based in the classroom itself before moving outwards to explore the learning possibilities presented by the immediate environs of the school – playgrounds, gym halls, sports fields etc. Later chapters move beyond the school gates to explore the local shops, parks, religious centres, libraries and town halls and the myriad learning opportunities they represent. The final chapters explore the possibilities of larger scale day trips to major galleries and museums and more ambitious field trips.
