Have you ever wondered how clouds are formed, and
what is lightning? Did you know that snowflakes are six-sided? These questions
and more are answered in this brilliant and informative field guide to the
natural world and ignite children’s awareness of the world outside with a spark.
Facts appear like gems to be collected and stored in children’s’ knowledge
bank. They equally inform and educate an ageless audience (although the book is
aimed at the 6+ age group).
The Bear Hunt is in the sky as well as on the ground. We are introduced to stars and their shapes, sky, earth and ground, mountains, trees, rocks and sea, wind and weather, and all kinds of living things.
Facts are simply presented, therefore easy to conceive. Words in bold lettering are concisely defined and expanded on. From paw prints to poo, we discover ways of identifying all kinds of living creatures. There are activities, recipes, and projects to engage children and awaken them to the importance of Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle, while encouraging them to seek adventures in the natural world that waits to be explored.
Readers will come away from this book filled with
wonder at all they have learnt. Addressed on the last pages are threats to our
planet by climate change, pollution, and global warming, and how we can help. Endangered
species are touched upon, and an excellent Glossary is included. I found it
unbelievable that such a compact book could contain this vast amount of
information on so many varied topics.
