This second book of a pre-school series of six titles developed in accordance with the government's new foundation guidelines focuses on things set at the shops, market and supermarket. It includes learning about pets at the pet shop, using money at the shops, shopping for Diwali treats, weather investigations and counting songs. The guidelines have six core early learning goals which are incorporated into each title in the series: physical development; creative development; personal, social and emotional development; communication, language and literacy; mathematical development and knowledge and understanding of the world. These new goals are not age-related, but attained in "stepping stones" stages that children aged 3 to 5 can work through at their own pace. "Play and Learn" incorporates this "stepping stone" ideology, with Book 1 being the easiest and Book 6 being the hardest. Each book uses colourful artwork and stimulating scenarios.
