Fruit

by Rachel Matthews

Little Hands helps to launch the Building Blocks range of titles for foundation level children. Focussing on the natural world, these books use all the senses to encourage children to explore each topic. Leaves, flowers and seeds are some of the things they learn about by touching, comparing, smelling and generally getting their little hands messy!
