In this new series, based on real-life animal tales, discover that
not all heroes wear capes - some have four legs, a wet nose, and a
brave heart, like Sterling, the moose who fell in love. Read about
Sterling, the silly moose, who loved cows. It was the time of disco
and flower crowns. The heartbeat of the era reached Sterling, the
1,000 pound moose in his woodsy marsh in Canada. His marsh stood by
a dairy farm, which was lucky, as Sterling was obsessed with cows.
He broke the farmer's fence, ran with them in the paddock, andmade
new friends - he didn't want to leave! But the farmer wasn't so
happy with Sterling... Would he find his way back to his beloved
cows? This heartwarming story has a fact section at the back, so
you can learn more about moose and how you can help them. Stunning
nature scenes from Laivi Poder will make you want to dive into the
page. Also in the series is Onyx, based on the reintroduction of
wolves of Yellowstone Park. Fluffles, the koala who held strong
through a bushfire. And Talala, the leopard cub who found her own
family. A tale of friendship and bravery despite the odds, this
tale will make you laugh and may even bring a tear to your eye.

This is a new unique, and gorgeously illustrated book that is a
perfect present for anyone. When the iceberg that Pip the polar
bear lives on begins to melt, separating her from her family, she
is forced to begin the biggest adventure of her young life! This
moving story introduces children to the issues around climate
change and shows that with courage, hope, and a few friends by our
side, we can all tackle the threats to our global environment. The
world's tropical forests are shrinking at a staggering rate, the
equivalent of 30 football pitches per minute. Average wildlife
populations have dropped by 60 per cent in just over 40 years.
Antarctica losing six times more ice mass annually now than 40
years ago. The Arctic is warming faster than any other region on
Earth. This is having a devastating impact on the wildlife. Polar
bears are starving and scientists believe that shrinking sea ice
caused by climate change is to blame. A Melting Planet is an
important first step to teaching children about the impact of
global warming. The book highlights the issue of global warming and
the melting of the ice caps through the heart-warming story of Pip,
a strong, determined and brave young polar bear who suffers from
the effects of climate change, but with the help from some friends
finds hope in her future. This book takes a sensitive and positive
approach to the climate emergency that we are all facing. It will
encourage children to think about the impact of climate change on
the world around them and what they might be able to do to help.
Category Description for Kumon Math Workbooks (1-6):
A math program based on the Kumon method. Basically, the earmarks of
this system are:
- Concepts introduced in small, incremental steps, allowing
children to master them without confusion
- Single topic books rather than mixed strands. Children
concentrate just on addition, for example, before moving to subtraction
- Concepts are taught by discovery method than being spelled
out
The series is meant to be self-directed. Students take charge of their
own learning on every level. They complete pages, check their work,
record their scores, and determine whether to move on or review. The
pace almost guarantees success. Children should work a "few" pages a
day; assignments should take about 20 minutes to complete. Pages are
marked with the skill level required at top and the points each
question is valued at (a very young child will need some help totaling
points). Very short instruction (or an example) is given on a few
pages. For example, there is a short explanation when children begin to
subtract a 2-digit number from a 3-digit number where borrowing is
needed. However, the child is given every opportunity to intuit this
beforehand. By the time he reaches this page, he has already been
subtracting double-digit numbers for many pages. Some of these would
require borrowing, but, since they are able to subtract, say, 7 from
12, the Kumon method wants the child to see a pattern when increasing
to 7 from 22, 7 from 32, etc. This does remind me of the approach used
in Miquon as well. Besides these very infrequent helps there are just
some small prompts for children to look for patterns in their answers,
and words of encouragement. Pages are pleasing to the eye; they are
colored, clean, and problems are well-spaced. The Kumon method has been
used successfully with children around the world for over 50 years. It
does seem like it would help a child to take charge of his own learning
and help himself to understanding rather than being spoon-fed each
bite. For Kumon math earlier than Grade 1, see the Kumon section in
Early Learning.
