This Progress with Oxford Shape and Measuring Age 6-7 workbook will
help your child to progress with shape and measures while having
fun . Each Progress with Oxford book is focused on the skills your
child will need to master at each stage of the school curriculum.
The books are precisely matched to your child's age to make sure
they are aligned with school expectations for their year, helping
children to fully achieve their potential. The series has been
created to help every child develop these essential skills at home,
with minimal help and support, with Picture clues used to show very
young children how to complete activities and reminder boxes, tips
and advice to support older children to become self-sufficient
learners. A lively character accompanies your child through all the
colourful and engaging activities, and fun stickers are included to
reward their work. A handy progress chart at the end of each book
captures their achievements, so you both know what to do next. Find
further support on the Oxford Owl at Home website, on
oxfordowl.co.uk, which provides specific advice on helping your
child learn about shapes and measuring, and fun activities to
extend their skills.
Follow a colorful blob of modeling dough as it forms a ball, rolls
into a snake, coils into a pot, and more in this adorable board
book! In this charming story, children can learn the simple lesson
that change is a constant--and they can learn it through art and
play! The straightforward narrative paired with quirky visual humor
makes this the perfect board book for budding creative kids.
A clever and surprising approach to categorization and the art of
disguise Readers will look for the odd one out on each spread of
this stylish, 64-page picture book, packed with familiar objects,
stunningly depicted in duotone. This play on the analogy of shapes
makes the objects look deceitfully similar and the task
surprisingly tricky! With a range of humorous visual jokes through
association (an egg among birds) as well as clever shape
comparisons (a plane among insects), this wordless book offers much
to be discussed, and the joy of visual deciphering and
categorization is sure to continue beyond its pages.
Babies will love this bright and bold high-contrast book, perfect
for sharing from birth. High-contrast colours are easy for very
little babies to focus on, and along with the fun textures to feel,
Splish Splash will engage and entertain babies as their eyesight
and senses develop. The friendly animal characters will guide you
through the book, and there are lots of extra sounds to make
(swish!) and fun things to spot. Splish Splash aids the development
of early coordination by encouraging babies to reach for and
explore the bumpy, smooth and shiny textures. Babies will react
with delight as they touch and feel the pictures of friendly sea
creatures, while the simple text prompts parent interaction. The
perfect first book to share with your baby! Also available: Moo
Peek-a-Boo, On the Move, Funny Faces, Animal Train, Bath Time
Whether you're big or little, learning about opposites has never
been more fun - or funny - than with this winning board book.
Ladies are big, but ladybugs are little. Amiably illustrated in a
bright, graphic style, Leslie Patricelli's spirited board book, BIG
LITTLE, stars an obliging, bald, and very expressive toddler who
acts out each pair of opposites with comically dramatic effect.
In this companion to the acclaimed Z Is for Moose, Moose
infiltrates a book about shapes (because he loves shapes,
naturally) and it is up to his best friend, Zebra, to restore order
and save the day. Another triumph from the award-winning team of
Kelly Bingham and Paul O. Zelinsky.
This hilarious book manages to illustrate a fact or two about
shapes while providing a three-dimensional stomping ground for best
friends Moose and Zebra. What will happen? Who will save the day?
It's all up in the air until the final page, where Moose and Zebra
(and Cat, too) create a perfect--and perfectly
heartwarming--ending. This stand-alone companion to Z Is for Moose
features a multilayered story told through text, asides,
conversation bubbles, and pictures. Themes of friendship,
exploration, and conflict resolution--and of course the concept of
shapes, including the shape of a book--make this an ideal
read-aloud for the elementary school classroom and for home
Sidman's lyrical poetry and Krommes' charming illustrations
illuminate this intriguing shape found all throughout the universe.
Young readers will enjoy discovering all of the different spirals
in nature in this new board book edition. What makes the tiny snail
shell so beautiful? Why does that shape occur in nature over and
over again--in rushing rivers, in a flower bud, even inside your
ear? With simplicity and grace, Sidman and Krommes not only reveal
the many spirals in nature--from fiddleheads to elephant tusks,
from crashing waves to spiraling galaxies--but also celebrate the
beauty and usefulness of this fascinating shape.
