Little rabbit is worried that his ears are too big, so his dad shows him how they can hear all sorts of noises and keep him safe from danger - making them the best ears in the world!
A picture book introduction to the concept of night and day using children's own experiences as a starting point. It compares the Earth to the familiar and accessible playground roundabout. It closely adheres to National Curriculum topics KS I science, physical processes, looks at light and dark, and Key Stage 2 science, the earth and beyond looks at periodic changes and how day and night relate to the Earth spinning on its own axis. This book is one of a series that takes National Curriculum information topics and explains them in a simple, appealing way. It combines a read-out-aloud quality with a great way of encouraging young children to look and think beyond what they actually visualise.
Hop on the cart and join the farmyard animals as they find out how to take their heavy load on the hilly journey to market.
Enjoy the changing seasons through a year in the city and see how dark, frosty days and winter woollies are replaced by blooming flowers, shorts and brilliant sunshine. It's lucky that a local artist is on hand to record it all...
A young rabbit hates his long ears, but when his father explains about sounds and the importance of hearing, he soon changes his mind! As they roam around their woodland home, they observe, ask questions and comment on all the different sounds they hear; from the beautiful sound of a blackbird singing to the farmer's noisy tractor. In doing so, the book explores the principles of sound (Science Key Stage 1) - and has a bit of fun along the way! An exciting and beautifully illustrated information book that encourages children to question the world around them.
Through the humorous observations of farmyard animals, we watch the UPS and DOWNS of a farmer and his animals as they try to take their goods to market. Each spread shows a problem en route - a steep hill UP, a steep hill DOWN, a slippery road - and the effect it has on the animals and the farmer's cart. In doing so, the book introduces ideas about the rules of forces and motion (Science Key Stage 1) - and has a lot of fun along the way! This is an engaging and beautifully illustrated information book that encourages children to question the world around them.
