This is the second of these books we now own, A world of Discovery is amazing, just like the first book we got, A World of Information this book has proved so helpful. These are the sort of books that my daughter now goes to when there are facts about things she wants to know. When they are covering topics at school, these books go to school or help with homework. It's great to see now in a world of online 'everything, that children will still get a book to learn facts or information.
This book A world of Discovery is a beautiful large hardback book, filled with facts, that looks good and will certainly stand the test of time. Made to a very high standard, the quality is first class. I think a lot of children struggle to connect with books now, so something like this would interest even a reluctant reader, it can be read from cover to cover, glanced at or even just used to learn facts and information. This book is not only for children, as a family we have all enjoyed sitting down with it, reading and learning things we didn't know. A great source of facts and information for any age range. Just some of the topics covered include space travel The human body Time The computer DNA Aviation Radio and many many more interesting topics. A very well put together book, with amazing facts and information. Great for all ages.

The perfect gift to engage nature-lovers and budding bird-watchers with the wildlife all around them. Well if this doesn't get you out and about enjoying walks with the kids, then I don't know what will.
This certainly gets 5 stars from us. This really is a fabulous set. Clipboard and papers, with lots of activities to do. We absolutely loved this, we got on our wellies and headed out to the local woods. Armed with the clipboard, it's contents, we also took some crayons, pencils and some extra paper, a couple of small food bags for collecting our treasures in. We started off looking for leaves, and collecting some of the better ones, to make a leaf collage the day after. We did bark rubbing and leaf rubbing which is something my little on hadn't done before so that was great fun. We were out for around 3 hours and clocked up just over 4 miles walking. So not only were we having fun and interacting with each other, we were exercising too. The set is very well presented, and has a great variety of activities. you have sheets for recording the wildlife that you see, an activity sheet for drawing a map of your exploration. Bark and leaf rubbing sheets, and a whole host of other activities or ideas. You get a guide of pictures of animals, and leaves, bugs and trees to help you identify what you have seen. This also comes with a book full of nature activities, things to make and explore, from making a butterfly feeder, a bird feeder, a wormery, moth magnets. It's full of great fun exciting activities. I really do recommend this. We've been out twice with the clipboard and really enjoyed ourselves. Now the warmer weather is coming we are going to start doing more of the activities in the book. It's a great for getting your young children learning about and talking about nature while having fun. |
