Introducing two more books in the LITTLE EXPLORERS series, an interactive nonfiction series for curious youngsters. With more than 30 flaps, OUTER SPACE provides little ones with hands-on fun!
OUTER SPACE is a lively introduction to the world of outer space, where children can lift the flaps to learn about all about what's beyond our earth. Young readers will be amazed as they find out how black holes work, the environments of planets in different universes, how we landed on the moon, and much, much more. This book features over 30 sturdy flaps to lift, along with charming, kid-friendly artwork that introduces new concepts and vocabulary in a simple and accessible way.
Läppäkirjaksi tässä kirjassa on paljon keskittymistä vaativia asioita, ei siis ihan pienemmille kuuntelijoille suunnattu kirja! Vaikka meidän 3-vuotias kuopus itse valitsi tämän kirjan kirjastosta luettavaksi, keskittyminen ei jaksanut pysyä kirjan aiheessa.
These two lift-the-flap books are the size of an average picture book, but printed on sturdy paper just like board books. Their target audience skews a bit older - probably up to a third grade level or so - but Miss Muffet is fascinated by them and spends a lot of time opening and closing the flaps. I was hoping to use them to teach her some more in-depth information about the animal kingdom, and to introduce the idea of outer space, but I actually think they will be better used by kids who already have some background knowledge, as there is so much to take in on every page. The cartoonish illustrations are reminiscent of graphic novels, which would have made them a very popular choice with some early elementary boys I used to know at the library. I would caution against buying these for libraries, as lift-the-flap books have a short shelf life, but for curious kids who wish to amass as much information as possible on a single subject, these are the ideal titles.
