Spend hours navigating the world's great rivers with Great Rivers of the World by Volker Mehnert and illustrated by Martin Haake (Prestel Junior; 3/23/21; ISBN: 978-3791374703; Hardcover $19.95; Ages 8-12; 40 pages), a vibrant, fact-filled book for kids that blends geography, history, and culture.
Where in the
Rhein does the Nibelung Treasure lie? What river helps mark the prime meridian?
Why do people make pilgrimages to the Indian city of Benares? Why is the Mekong
called the "Nine Dragon" river in Vietnam? How does the Mississippi
divide and unite the United States? These and hundreds of other facts are
explored in this wonderfully illustrated atlas of the world's great rivers.
Each spread in this book offers a colorful map packed with drawings, figures,
and facts. Cities that border the rivers are highlighted, as are distinct flora
and fauna, significant natural and human-made features, and fascinating
historical details. A "biography" of each river describes where it
flows, and its importance to the communities it passes through. Special
attention is given to the ecological health of the rivers--those that are
thriving and those in danger of losing their valuable habitats. Along the way,
young readers will come to understand the enormous impact that rivers have on
our lives, while learning valuable information in a way that will spark their
curiosity and imagination.

In her first cookbook, Sarah Glover showed the world how liberating, satisfying, and easy it is to cook beautiful healthy food outdoors. Now she brings kids of all ages into the mix in Wild Child (Prestel; 5/4/21; ISBN: 978-3791387208; Hardcover $25.00; All Ages; 144 pages), proving that they too can take part in collecting, preparing, and cooking campfire meals the whole family can enjoy. Glover's simple yet elegant meals are inspired by the land and the sea: fish and ears of corn dangled on a stick over an open flame; perfect bread baked directly on hot coals; kale and potatoes simmered in saltwater; eggs fried alongside spicy sausage and toast; chili-brined cherry tomatoes--and more. Glover emphasizes fresh seasonal food that can be acquired locally. And, while her techniques date back to ancient traditions, the flavors are distinctly modern. Brimming with gorgeous landscape photography from across the Australian continent, this stylish yet down-to-earth cookbook encourages families to embrace the outdoors, teaches young chefs valuable techniques and life skills, and proves once again that everything tastes better cooked over an open flame.
SARAH GLOVER has worked as a chef
and pastry chef in Tasmania, Sydney, and New York City. Her first book, Wild (Prestel,
2018) was nominated for a 2019 James Beard Award for Best Photography. She
lives in Tasmania, Australia. https://www.sarahglover.com.au/
