Festivals

by Lynn Huggins-Cooper

Published 15 July 2004
What events do people celebrate? What tasty treats are enjoyed? How do people dress up for festivals? These and many other questions about festivals are answered in this colourful and informative book. The book contains colour photographs, a contents page and a photographic glossary and index. Ideal for home, pre-school and Key Stage 1 use, it provides a simple introduction to festivals and how we celebrate.

This highly attractive introduction to a subject of great fascination to young children looks at the amazing variety of minibeasts to be found even in a common garden. Spiders, butterflies and snails are just some of these amazing creatures featured as well as the process of metamorphosis. In a neraly square format, the book is easily handled by children and is clearly and stunningly illustrated with bright colour photographs. It contains contents, a combined glossary and index, and captions to provide experience of the organisational features of non-fiction. It has also been checked by literacy and science consultants.
