Barrington Stoke believes in stories. When a reader is hooked on a story, his reading ability improves. He reads more fluently, because he wants to read! Struggling, reluctant and dyslexic readers don’t need boring books in childish language – they need the best stories they can get. And that’s why award-winning publisher Barrington Stoke publish stories by some of the best children’s authors in the world.
DNA, clones, stem cells… They’re all in the news, but what on earth are they? Growing new hearts, using sheep to help treat illnesses, cloning pets – it all sounds like science fiction, but it’s fact! In this book, Gill Arbuthnott explains some of the most exciting things happening in biology today.
