THINGS ARE GETTING OUT OF HAND THE CAT IN THE HAT • ONLY IN CINEMAS 4 DECEMBER

How one writer turned words into a playground

The Man behind the Hat • Long before his books became famous around the world, Theodor Seuss Geisel was simply a young man who loved drawing, writing and making people laugh. He eventually became known to millions of readers as Dr. Seuss. But what made his work so memorable? It wasn’t just colourful characters and funny stories. Geisel had a remarkable talent for making language itself feel like fun.

Cat-astrophe in the Fishbowl • These curious cats have spotted a bowl full of wriggling, swimming fish, and they simply cannot resist investigating.

Life under Water PROTECTING OUR AQUATIC HABITATS • Imagine a river winding through a forest, a colourful coral reef or a wetland filled with birds, frogs and tiny fish. These places may look different, but they have something in common: they are all aquatic habitats, providing homes for countless living things.

Majestic Manatees GENTLE GIANTS OF THE WATER • Imagine an animal as big as a small car, with a paddle-shaped tail, whiskers on its face and a diet of underwater plants. Meet the manatee − a peaceful giant that spends much of its life gliding through warm rivers, coastal waters and wetlands.

At its centre is the Sun, a star that contains almost all of the Solar System’s mass. Around it travel eight planets, hundreds of moons and enormous numbers of smaller objects, including asteroids and comets. The Solar System is part of the Milky Way galaxy, in a region called the Orion Spur.

Eight very different Worlds FROM SCORCHING ROCK TO FROZEN ICE • Calling them all ‘planets’ can make them sound similar, but they are remarkably different. Each has its own atmosphere, surface, temperature, weather and history.

Exploring the Unknown ROBOTS ARE OUR SPACE EXPLORERS • Most of our detailed knowledge of the Solar System comes from spacecraft. Orbiters can repeatedly study a world from above; landers can investigate a surface; and rovers can move across...
