Description
Book SynopsisThis is a fun and educational book that is part of a series of three that have been written in rhythm and rhyme to enable children to become familiar with vocabulary relating to animals: vocabulary that is fast disappearing from our English language because it is not generally being taught or learned or used. "Animal Homes" uses rhyme with bright, colourful illustrations to introduce words such as sett, drey, holt and vespiary relating to homes of badgers, squirrels, otters and wasps. It encourages children to develop their vocabulary through literacy and learning. The two other books in the series do the same with gender of animals, (Animal Families) and collective nouns for birds, (A Flamboyance of Flamingos). All three books were written to encourage words that are part of our heritage to remain within our children's reach.
Trade ReviewReading in Rhyme, Animal Families reviewed on Amazon Bookstore UK. "This is an enchanting book for primary school children. It is both beautifully written and illustrated."
