of the talented Sarah Dyer is laid out in gorgeous organized chaos
for the joy of young readers. Each page is scattered with objects
that little ones will love pointing out and naming, including
circle-shaped things (clock, frying pan, ladybird spots) and
square-shaped things (window, building blocks, a cracker). Sarah's
funky illustrations and playful sense of humour will see The Book
of Shapes becoming an instant hit for toddlers and parents alike.

How Many Mice Make an Elephant? And Other Big Questions about Size and
Distance introduces children to this tricky maths concept in a
fun, relatable way.
Fantastically written by Tracey Turner, questions such as 'How many
high jumps to the moon?' and 'How many ice cubes make an iceberg?' get
children to think about just how high, how big and how far things are,
as well as teaching them the maths to work it out! The logic behind
each comparison is explained in clear, simple steps for children to
follow along, helping them to reach the answer.
Beautiful illustrations by Aaron Cushley couldn't be further from a
maths text book, making learning maths a truly fun experience.
This wonderfully illustrated take on maths-by-stealth includes an
introduction by Kjartan Poskitt, author of the bestselling Murderous
Maths series.
""WHO'S BEEN EATING MY PORRIDGE?""""WHO'S BEEN SITTING IN MY
CHAIR?""""WHO'S BEEN SLEEPING IN MY BED?" """ Even little ones who
know the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears will be eager to
recite familiar lines and turn the pages in this warmly told and
humorously illustrated edition, created by the master storyteller
Paul Galdone.
Young children always enjoy looking at bright pictures, and with
this book they can also learn to recognize, name and create
different patterns. It includes everyday shapes such as wiggly
toothpaste or squishy spiral cake, manufactured ones like spotted
party balloons or splotches of messy paint, and natural ones such
as stripes on a zebra or ripples in water. The straightforward text
encourages reading skills and interactivity - see what patterns you
can find on a wing of a butterfly, make zigzags in wet sand, and
count the rings to find out the age of a tree. This first words and
picture book will delight and inform early learners, who will love
looking at it with grown-ups or by themselves. Compiled with the
advice of educational specialists, this special padded boardbook
combines lively, simple text with bold, bright photographs to
promote the development of literacy skills. Experts agree that
preschool children respond more immediately to photographs than to
illustrations, and this book is full of lively images of objects,
activities and people that youngsters will encounter in the world
around them.The images are carefully arranged into visual and
subject groups, such as spots, checks, zigzags, wiggles, swirls,
spirals, natural patterns, animal patterns, and patterns that we
can make ourselves - such as drizzles of icing or footprints on the
ground. Young readers will see and identify with the pictures of
children just like them, encouraging them to make connections, and
to see how various things develop and work together.

The monkey is swinging through the trees, a pretty butterfly is
fluttering in the sky and a deer is racing through the trees. Can
you trace each felt pattern? Gently rhyming text explores 8
different animals and how they like to move, in this delightful
board book. A felt layer between each page, encourages your little
one to practice turning the easy-to-hold felt edges themselves,
while little fingers can also trace the soft, felt patterns to
engage with the story and improve hand-eye coordination. Bold,
simple artwork is specially created with minimal colours and black
lines to appeal to young children and babies.
Skippyjon has an overactive imagination. And he is pretty active
himself. Here he shapes up with shapes: he runs in a circle,
tap-dances on a square, orbits an oval. And then the great sword
fighter shows his muscles.
Young children always enjoy looking at bright pictures, and with
this book they can learn about mixing and matching at the same
time. They can unite pairs of shoes, group together all the red
objects, spot all the spotted things, find a nose for the clown,

pattern, shade, shape, size and number. The straightforward text
encourages reading skills and interactive questioning - how many
green things can you find, who is the smallest in your family, and
have the kittens got a saucer of milk each? This first words and
picture book will delight and inform children, whether reading on
their own or with an adult. Compiled with the advice of educational
specialists, this special padded boardbook combines lively, simple
text with bold, bright photographs to promote the development of
literacy skills. Experts agree that preschool children respond more
immediately to photographs than to illustrations, and this book
shows lots of appealing and everyday things that go together - and
lots of things that don't!Readers are invited to pair up the
mixed-up socks, group objects by their appearance, count whether
there are enough spoons for all the ice-cream sundaes, and much
more. The images are carefully arranged into visual and subject
groups, such as pairs of things, size, shape, natural partners, and
types of clothing. This encourages young readers to make
connections, and to see how various things relate and link
together.
