NEW EDITION Well... it seems that these animals don't want to sleep
But step by step, each one discovers that sleeping is very
important for the animals, as well as for the children A funny way
to learn and a funny way to teach. As everyone knows how difficult
it can be to explain to young children how important it is to
sleep... --- THE BOOK OF THE ANIMALS: FUN LEARNING FOR CHILDREN AND
PARENTS What are certainly the most occurring moments in a parent's
life? When their child doesn't want to wash, eat, sleep, go to
school, share, take medicine, get vaccinated... And what can a
parent answer to these refusals? The successful "Book of The
Animals" bilingual children's books series was created with the aim
to help both parents and children to discover the benefits of
washing, eating, sleeping, going to school, sharing, taking
medicine, getting vaccinated... in a fun as well as educational
manner. Since the books are also bilingual, parents will enjoy the
teaching and the interactivity they can gain from reading them with
their children. THE AUDIENCE The books are geared towards children
aged 2-5, before elementary/primary school. They will likely be
bilingual children whose parents want to encourage the learning of
their two current languages. They will also be children whose
parents want to teach a language at a young age. Some teachers have
also been using the books of the series as a way to teach a second
language to children, with themes easy for them to both understand
and memorise. THE CURRENT BOOKS There are currently seven books in
the series. Each episode brings on new animals, new words, new
situations and new stories. - Ep.1. "These Animals... Don't Want to

official website: www.TheBookOfTheAnimals.com REVIEW "The Book of
the Animals is a planned series of illustrated books for young
children. ...] These delightful books tell the story of what
happens when the animals in the stories, like many young children,
don't want to eat and don't want to wash... The books are very
suitable both for reading to young children and for older children
to use to learn to read in both languages. They might even persuade
them to wash and eat their dinner The repetitive structure is
supportive of children learning new words and the illustrations
work well alongside the text to help understanding of unfamiliar
words. I can easily imagine young children demanding repeat
readings and enjoying learning the text by heart as many children
do with favourite stories. Children learning to make up and write
their own stories might well want to write a personalised version,
using the structure as a prop. I think the stories would work well
both in the home and in the classroom." (Review published in The
