Part of a well thought out series introducing young children to first words on nature this is an attractive and inspiring early information book.
Over pages of bold, attractive full colour illustrations, youngsters will learn 50 words about animals, described as ‘living things just like you.’ Some of the words will be familiar – feathers, scales, monkey; others less so – primates, omnivores, mammals.
Each word is explained and, as a short note for grown-ups emphasises, having a wide vocabulary helps children explore and understand the world around them. A pronunciation guide at the end will be helpful for readers of all ages and this is an enjoyable and inspiring learning experience.
Discover dolphins, gorillas, alligators, and lots more, and some interesting words to describe them!
This little book on animals is part of a series of four titles introducing first words on nature.
Written by early years professionals, Lily Holland, and colourfully illustrated by Debbie Powell, it introduces new and challenging words as well as familiar ones, alongside simple explanations and beautiful artwork.
Includes a note to grown-ups to encourage talking and a pronunciation guide for tricky terminology.
Lily Holland has a BA degree in Creative Writing, and holds Early Years Teacher Status. She loves working with children of all ages in early years, and is passionate about being out in nature with children.
