It s summer, and the sun shines longer each day. Sometimes it
storms. But do you know what happens during a storm? Or what
animals do during summer? What fun can you have out in the hot
summer sun?"
"A seed falls, And settles into the ground, And the Sun shines, And
the rain comes down, And the seed grows..." To understand how a
seed becomes a sunflower, you have to peek beneath the soil and
wait patiently as winding roots grow, a stalk inches out of the
earth, and new seeds emerge among blooming petals. With evocative
and lively illustrations, A Seed Grows offers a close-up view of
each step of this process and the ways in which flowers and seeds
depend on other creatures, with a striking fold-out spread of a
full-grown sunflower and additional material at the back of the
book explaining the science of plant life cycles. The final quiz
and suggested activities are a fun way to re-inforce what has been
learnt.
This lively book is teeming with jungle animals and other things to spot, match, count and talk about. At the bottom of each page is a row of pictures showing things to look for and count, while animals in each scene offer readers specific fun challenges, such as asking them to find a monkey with a backpack. There is also a little white mouse to spot in each picture. Children will enjoy the challenge while parents can be confident that kids are practising essential skills.
I Wonder Why the Wind Blows answers all sorts of tricky and
fascinating questions about Planet Earth, such as "How cold is
snow?," "How hot are deserts?," and "Where do rivers end?"
Children are naturally drawn to animals. Sooner or later your child
may ask for a dog of their own. This book will help your child
learn about the care and training that a Black and Tan Coonhound
needs, all the while they are learning with the fun activities in
the book. They'll have fun with the fill in the missing vowels,
word find puzzles, mazes, charts, pledge, crafts, making your own
bookmarks and note cards, and questions and answers. The book is a
fun read as told from the Black & Tan Coonhound's point of
view.

records and share what they find, their observations can even help
