This review is from: In The Garden (Hardcover)

My 2-yr-old just loves this book -- so much, in fact, that I just ordered In the Ocean, On the Farm, and In the Forest from this series. She has memorized the plants and foods in this book and loves looking for each item in the larger panoramic picture on each page. She seems to like "identification" books right now. We are learning new things along with her! If you're looking for colorful, informative nonfiction books for your child, I highly recommend this series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Such a simple technique and yet so effective, February 24, 2010

This review is from: In The Garden (Hardcover)

Each book in this "First Discovery Look-and-Learn Series" used the same format: A two page spread picture with a little text to set the scene and then a lift up flap that identifies and tells fascinating tidbits of information about various living creatures or objects on the two-page spread.

I have four books from the series. After finding one and seeing how much the kids liked them (perfect for science enrichment) I found as many as I could to add to our classroom science library. They don't seem to be in print anymore, this is a shame as the artwork and lift-a-flap concept really appeals to and keeps the interest of the children. I had to purchase all of them used. They are worth every penny as I couldn't find any other resource that could replace how we use them in the classroom.
