Thankfully, Neal Layton has won the battle for me! His new hardback novel,A Planet Full of Plastic’tells a great story. Stories are key to getting children to listen and to remember a moral from the pages. Neal’s book tells a story of how we lived a life before plastic. How itwas invented, why it went viral and what damage it is causing in today’s world.

Somewhere beneath a grassy field right now, a tiny insect is building an underground loudspeaker. Male mole crickets engineer horn-shaped burrows that amplify their calls hundreds of metres into the night air – and your child can recreate the same science at home using nothing but cardboard and a phone. This hands-on experiment explores sound, shape and natural engineering in a way that is genuinely surprising. No screens, no special equipment, just a brilliant idea borrowed from nature.
Our Risky Moment competition invited young explorers to capture a risky moment in the wild – a split second when animals must make bold choices to survive. From daring leaps across rocky cliffs to dangerous river crossings, we received many hair-raising entries showing just how adventurous life in nature can be.
A huge thank you to everyone who entered our Winter Explorer competition. You proved that winter is not ‘empty’ at all – it’s full of clues, if you know how to look.
