Youngsters will enjoy comparing the sizes of different objects and identifying opposites such as big and little, long and short, and wide and narrow. The straightforward text encourages reading skills and interactive questioning - can you find the smallest toy boat, are these shoes the right size, and can you name all the tiny objects that are grouped on the final page? This first words and picture book will delight and inform early learners, who will love looking at it, either with a grown-up or by themselves. Experts agree that preschool children respond more immediately to photographs than to illustrations. Compiled with the advice of educational specialists, this fun padded boardbook combines lively, simple text with bright, bold action images showing a child's-eye view of the world.The pictures are carefully arranged into visual and subject groups, beginning with comparisons of things that are small, big, bigger and biggest, and items that are the same size. Young readers can also compare kittens with long and short tails, thick and thin slices of bread, wide and narrow gaps for the kids in the photographs to squeeze through, and tall and short vases of pretty flowers. This will encourage children to make connections, and to notice how various things develop and work together. That's the long and short of it!

The Bureau of Weights and Measures is an amazing place where everything in the world is measured and assessed to make sure it is the right size, weight, temperature and so on.

There's only one thing for it: they'll have to invent a new machine to measure the mood. Soon, father and son are inventing machines to measure every emotion! However, once they start letting other people use their inventions, things start to go wrong. Ingenious, funny and thought-provoking, and brought to life by Vincent Mahe's distinctive retro illustrations-Anne-Gaelle Balpe's story is both a celebration of science and a warning that there are some things science can't measure.

Collected here are "My Very First Book of Colors, My Very First Book of Shapes, My Very First Book of Numbers, " and "My Very First Book of Words." Irresistible fun for young hands and minds

When his owner Vicky gets rid of the sand from his fur with a purple oval brush, Dog's leg twitches and his tail wags with pleasure!

Finally, it is time to return to bed, where Dog falls asleep under the bright stars and crescent moon in the night sky. With appealing images to look at and talk about, this book is a wonderful aid to learning that little ones will want to return to again and again.

The scientific pedagogy of Maria Montessori informed a revolution in education that continues today, 100 years later. Montessori schools focus on hands-on learning with specifically designed materials that allow students to understand the world through methodical and self-directed work. According to Montessori, play is work and the explorations of children are what ultimately lead to learning and understanding. As with all things Montessori, students begin with the concrete and move to the abstract. When learning shapes, students first develop an understanding of the spatial object, the comparison between shapes and a relevant application for each shape before learning the names. Inspired by this process and the associated classroom materials (trays of various shapes, grouped by family), Montessori: Shape Work will offer readers die-cut shapes to trace with their fingers, grouped by family for comparison, and illustrated into a familiar object for relevancy. Featured shapes: 3 triangles (equilateral, isosceles, right); 3 rounds (circle, oval, ellipse); 3 parallelograms (square, rectangle, rhombus); 3 polygons (pentagon, hexagon, octagon).

This book guides young readers through the process of identifying patterns. With simple text and closely matching pictures, this title is perfect for beginning readers.
