Patternborough David’s decided to ditch the

patented plain blue linen

shirt and khaki trousers and

he’s commissioned you

to design his new look.

Whether you want to go

for a 1960s leopard print,

scrawl ‘King of the Jungle’

across his shirt or go ethical

and draw a plastic bottle

crossed out, it’s up to you.

Go wild.

‘I suspect that

happiness is not

a state but rather a

transition. If things

are getting better,

and circumstances.

You’ll find people

where their

conditions aren’t

changing in any way,

it’s rather rare for

them to be happy.

And you get that

bubbling happiness

when you achieve

things.’

‘The fact is that no species has ever had such wholesale control over everything on Earth, living or dead, as we now have. That lies upon us, whether we like it or not, an awesome responsibility. In our hands now lies not only our own future, but that of all other living creatures with whom we share the Earth.’

‘The one creature th

at really makes my

jaw sag, that I find

absolutely fascinatin

g

so much that I can h

ardly stop looking a

t it,

is a nine-month-old h

uman baby.

‘I think sometimes

we need to take a

step back and just

remember we have no

greater right to be here

than any other animal.’

Colour in a Hummingbird!

OK, so full disclosure: I’m obsessed

with hummingbirds. The fiery-throated

hummingbird basically looks like it’s been

dipped into a rainbow. It has a red throat,

which blends into orange and yellow on

its chest. It has a green belly and a blue-

green back that becomes indigo towards

its rump. Its wings are violet. But you can

colour it however you want!

This book is a warm-hearted celebration

of all things Attenborough. It’s the perfect

gift for anyone with more than a passing

admiration for the world’s favourite

naturalist. And let’s face it – that’s everyone!

Inside you’ll fi nd a wealth of puzzles,

quizzes and fascinating facts. Discover the

20 species named in David’s honour and

how he helped solve a gruesome Victorian

murder. Test your animal knowledge in the

Ultimate Nature Quiz, and embrace your silly

side with fun activities like Patternborough,

where you design David a snazzy new shirt.

You’ll laugh, you’ll learn more about this

living legend, and you’ll love this book!
