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

A gorgeous new picture book celebrating the joy of spring based on
the Emmy-award winning TV series The Adventures of Paddington!
Something very exciting is going on at the City Farm - three eggs
are about to hatch and it's Paddington and his friends' job to
watch over them. The trouble is that Paddington's egg is taking
rather a long time to hatch! Will he be able to stay awake?
The colourful guide to the Natural History Museum, London has been
designed especially for kids to enjoy when visiting the Museum and
at home. It is packed with fascinating facts and fun for all the
family including puzzles, games and quizzes. The content has been
developed around themes that showcase all of the Museum galleries.
Each theme contains a series of questions - What is a dinosaur? How
old is the Earth? What is the smallest part of you? - that can be
explored within the galleries. The book also goes beyond the
galleries to explore behind the scenes at the Museum including what
our scientists do, what's in our collections and why they are so
useful. This fun, interactive guide incorporates the latest Museum
map and can be dipped into as necessary, or used to follow a route
through the galleries. Kids Only aims to support family visits and
facilitate children's learning and enjoyment in the galleries and
beyond. It is complemented by the Museum website and will make the
Museum more accessible to those unable to visit.
