Description
This highly attractive introduction to a subject that is of real fascination to young children looks at the variety of homes and their relationship to the environment people inhabit in different parts of the world. In a nearly square format, the book is easily handled by children and is clearly and stunningly illustrated with bright colour photographs. It contains contents, a combined index and glossary, and captions to provide experience of the organisational features of non-fiction. It has also been checked by literacy and geography consultants.
Reviews / Votes
With a high photographs to text ratio these are easy-access books for young children and as well as being good first reference books, we found them useful to read aloud at home to an information-hungry four-year-old. -- Cork Evening Echo 20030927 Would find a place on the classroom browsing table to extend children's learning and they are also helpful in introducing retrieval devices like contents pages and indexes. -- Books of Keeps 20031101 "It is the perfect size and shape for small hands to hold, solid with lovely silky paper and most attractive photographs of homes across the world." -- School Librarian 20031212More details
