See a tiny seed grow into a mighty tree, with deep routes and
branches reaching high into the sky. Stroll through the seasons and
watch as the trees shed their leaves in autumn, then bud and
blossom again in the spring. Learn about the different types of
trees, leaves, and fruit that grow - as well as all the things we
can make with the wood we get from trees, like the paper pages of
this very book! This title is part of the My First Discovery
paperback series - a unique collection of beautifully illustrated
information books for children aged 4 to 7, with simple language to
aid learning and realistic artwork to inspire young minds. There
are 8 transparent overlay pages, which reveal hidden surprises and
make the pages come alive. With free access to a brand new audio
app, children can listen and read along at their own pace, page by
page.
From the creators of the critically acclaimed The Night Gardener
and Ocean Meets Sky comes a whimsical and elegantly illustrated
picture book about community, art, the importance of giving back -
and the wonder that fell from the sky. THE GUARDIAN "[...] gorgeous
illustration [...] intricate monochrome [...] acid-bright touches
of colour [...] will prompt lively discussion." It fell from the
sky on a Thursday. None of the insects know where it came from, or
what it is. Some say it's an egg. Others, a gumdrop. But whatever
it is, it fell near Spider's house, so he's convinced it belongs to
him. Spider builds a wonderous display so that insects from far and
wide can come to look at the marvel. Spider has their best
interests at heart. So what if he has to charge a small fee? So
what if the lines are long? But as Spider raises the prices,
insects stop showing up, much to Spider's bemusement. And then, all
of a sudden, an unexpected disaster hits and the marvel disappears!
This charming story is accompanied by characterful illustrations,
and also teaches children important life lessons about greed and
the importance of sharing.
This is a non-fiction book like no other, because it is a flip book
in two languages. Children can read THE CLOWNFISH in English or
flip the book over to enjoy EL PEZ PAYASO in Spanish. Children will
no longer be confused by having both translations on the same page.
Tina Liccioni has over 10 years of experience teaching regular
education, English as a Second Language, and Bilingual children at
the elementary level. She believes children prefer non-fiction
books with vibrant, real photographs, like the ones in this book.
After researching, she found that there is not a big selection of
non-fiction books to choose from for young readers, and even fewer
that are bilingual. THE CLOWNFISH/EL PEZ PAYASO has simple
sentences for beginning readers, ages 4-8. Since it is factual,
even older children can learn about the clownfish's colorful
appearance, habitat, eggs, diet and size. This book is highly
recommended for teachers, librarians, and parents. Share it with
chldren so that they may develop a love for reading at an early age
and become stronger in two languages. Este es un libro como ning
