SPARKLING LEARNING: FIRST ABC

by Caroline Davies

This charming early learning book is the perfect way to introduce your child to the alphabet. Look at the objects
that appear on the left-hand page. Then, encourage your child to find and name them on the right-hand page.
There are jolly scenes on the beach with attractive illustrations where your child can learn 'B' for boat and
'C' for cake, or go underwater for 'N' for net and 'O' for octopus. In every picture, there are lots of extra
objects for your child to look for - an alphabet of sparkly fun! Shiny foil throughout creates a brightness
that will appeal to young children and make every page a delight.

About the author

Caroline Davies was born in Norfolk to Welsh parents. She has a Diploma in Literature and Creative writing awarded with distinction by the Open University. She blogs occasionally here. You can follow her on Pinterest and Facebook.

Her seond poetry collection, Voices from Stone and Bronze was published by Cinnamon Press in 2016. It is inspired by the war memorials of London, France and Wales. Voices from Stone and Bronze brings to life those who fought and died and those who survived, including some of the sculptors who had themselves come through trench warfare to a changed world. Meticulously researched and deeply humane, these narrative poems apply a lyrical sensibility without sentimentalism; a deeply affective collection.

Her first collection, Convoy was inspired by the experiences of her grandfather, James ‘Jim’ Honeybill, who was a merchant seaman. He was with the Blue Funnel line and served on M.V. Ajax during the Malta convoys.
