Clare Beaton's hide-and-seek adventure takes young readers to the Far North. Moose are very shy - but if you look carefully, you will find one in every scene of this story. And you will meet all kinds of northland critters and learn lots of fascinating facts about them along the way! This book, from the illustrator of "Secret Seahorse" (PB: 978-184148-876-9; BB: 978-1905236-145), teaches young readers about the changing seasons and about the animals of the Far North.

First concepts can be wild, especially when animals are involved! Young children acquire and retain information more effectively when they are entertained and engaged. Vibrant, dynamic and funny, this is the perfect introduction to shapes for very young readers.

Children are able to communicate by signing before they develop the skills necessary for speech. By teaching simple sign language to children from as young as eight months, we can help them to convey their emotions and their needs. When children begin to talk, having sign language to fall back on provides a comforting safety net. Add to the fun of signing by singing well-known nursery rhymes and songs. Even proficient speakers will long enjoy signing to a favourite song or rhyme. Simple and clear signing instructions allow anyone to join in.

I love you, Big Bear!

The first time Sarah saw Big Bear was on a school outing. He looked just like Mr T, her teddy, only much, much bigger. Big Bear looked sad. So Sarah started talking to him. “Don't be sad,” she said softly. “I'm here.” She told him he was not alone. She told him not to worry and she told him secrets that nobody else knew. But when Sarah went home that afternoon, there were suitcases and boxes in the hallway. She heard angry voices and then Daddy drove away in his car. “Don't worry, darling,” Mum said. “You and I are going to be just fine.” But that night Sarah couldn't sleep. And before long, someone climbed through her window. “Don't be sad,” said a soft voice. “I'm here.” And there was Big Bear. Before long, they were having loads of adventures together…
