This large format book helps children test their ability to observe
and count. The wonderful full-page illustrations by Agnese Baruzzi
which are so rich in detail, depict different natural environments
and incredible mazes. The children have to search for the animals
hidden in the pages and list them on the adjoining page. How many
animals will they be able to identify on each page? The children
can check the answers at the end of the book. Entertaining and

natural world right outside your door. Caterpillars wiggle and
butterflies fly as you follow a family on a sensory journey through
the sights, sounds, and tastes of their garden. Young readers will

hands plucking some kale, in this sweet, sensory experience that
captures a day enjoying nature while encouraging healthful eating
habits and fostering family bonding. From sunup to sundown, there's
always a warm welcome hello to be found among the inhabitants and
vegetation of your own backyard.

The Kumon My Book of Reading Skills series will introduce your child to
early literacy concepts such as vowel and consonant sounds, sight
words, and more. The first two books, My Book of Reading Skills: Easy
Phonics and My Book of Reading Skills: Phonics, will help your child
develop phonics skills such as recognizing consonant letter sounds,
short and long vowel sounds, and consonant combination sounds like
“ch.” The goal for this series is to teach children to identify the
most common phoneme sounds and their sound–letter relationships, so
they can easily sound out or decode new words as they read. Developing
phonics skills is essential for your child to build a strong foundation
in literacy.
An immersive illustrated primer to the enchanted beings, magic users, and spells of Dungeons & Dragons, the leading fantasy role-playing game.
This illustrated guide transports new players to the magical world of Dungeons & Dragons and presents a one-of-a-kind course on the wizards, sorcerers, and other magic-makers for which the game is known. Featuring easy-to-follow and entertaining explanations of how spells are created and used in the game, along with original illustrations of the game's essential magical characters, this book shines a spotlight on the mystical side of D&D.
The perfect jumping-on point for young fans of fantasy looking to give D&D a try, Wizards and Spells also features prompts to encourage creative problem-solving skills in the dangerous situations that may be encountered in a Dungeons & Dragons adventure.

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.
