It's a fact book with lots of facts and activities when I told my friend that a duck billed platapus is a mamal she didn't believe me when I told her it came from a fact book she still didn't believe me when I argued with her she still didn't believe me!
This question and answer book has been a big hit with my children and myself and it is definitely a fact book I would use as a qualified teacher with my class when appropriate. My First Question and Answer Book covers a range of subjects including: Animals, Science, History, Space and Our Planet.
The book is a great starting point for a child's interests. The language is accessible and child friendly. The illustrations are colourful, detailed and pleasant to the eye.
I would consider this book to be appropriate for Key Stage One and Lower Key Stage Two. As a qualified teacher I would most likely use this book at the end of the day on the carpet. I would ask the children to put their hand up and tell me what topic they would like some facts on. As an extension I would suggest children carry out further research at home with parents and carers or think about the next topic they would like to hear facts on.
This book is Amazing for EYFS and KS1. Gallagher has captured the child spirit wonderfully in this book. there are 5 main topics she explores in the book: Animals, Science, History, Space and Our Planet.
As we know children always have so many questions and this book helps them to understand some of the first things they are exposed to and may question. For example, How much hair do I have on my head? Or are my eyes like a camera? These are just some examples but it can really help children understand some topics that are hard to explain.
the first English book that I have ever read. I was about seven years old when I read it, the book is extremely simplified to be easily understood by children.
