Book Synopsis

Learn all about light with Mo the Monster and his friends in this fun first science book for children aged 5+.

Mo is a little bit afraid of the dark, but today he is going the funfair and learning all about light and shadows. He and his friend Sid find out about sources of light, how light travels and reflects, while having fun in the hall of mirrors and watching a puppet show and much more. But can Mo stay out of trouble while he's having so much fun? Don't count on it!

If a monster can understand science, anyone can! Join Mo the Monster as he discovers the basic principles of science. Along the way, Mo is kept focused (monsters are notoriously easily distracted) with the help of simple, clearly presented information, plenty of questions to answer and lots of science puzzles and activities.

The funny, colourful illustrations offer lots of scope for humour and interest to keep children engaged while they learn. Aimed at readers aged 5+.
