Product Information

Thanks so much for your lovely message and for everything that you do with Book Wagon. Yourself and Bob are much cherished in our booky world and I personally really appreciate everything that you do. Who sets the styles?

Now it's all laptop this and internet that. Even in children's books. Nothing seems like so much fun anymore and time runs away from me faster and the once endless days pass in the twinkling of an eye. Find out about the different parts of a plant and research plant diversity across the world. Using what you’ve learned, design some new plants and label their key features like a botanist. Collect these new plants in a class book: an imaginary field guide to unknown species.Wesley makes his own house as well as all the objects he needs. Ask children to design their own ideal homes. They should develop their idea by drawing it, discussing it and refining it, and then mount a campaign to promote and advertise it, including posters and a verbal presentation or TV-style commercial. I have even talked the head into a little revamp of the library so that we can display them properly! The spread showing Wesley’s bedroom provides clues to his personality. Working in pairs, ask children to list the objects. What do these objects tell us about Wesley? To what extent do our surroundings – including the objects we own – define us?

Weslandia is founded on a magical staple food crop: a seed that grows into a plant called swist that bears bright red flowers, magenta fruit and delicious tubers on its roots.

In 2000 it was also listed as the Notable Children's Books award winner.

With the help of a little bit of magic and a lot of imagination and hard work, the world of Weslandia is born – and nobody (not even Wesley’s tormentors) can resist its appeal. Paul followed in his father's footsteps as an author of books for young readers, and in 1982 he released the book "Graven Images", which was awarded a Newbery Honor citation.
