Lamb

See How They Grow

by Angela Royston, Gordon Clayton (Photographer)

A photographic paperback series designed to introduce the fascinating world of animals and how they develop. Appealing step-by-step photography allows children to see a butterfly emerge from its cocoon and spread its wings, or see what happens when an egg hatches and a chick emerges.

About the author

Here is some brief information about myself.

I’m interested in science because it helps us to understand the world. I enjoy finding out about new things and then working out how to write about them in a way that is both clear (and accurate) but which also conveys my own excitement and interest. I particularly like writing books that are fun, and I have been lucky to have had so many chances to do so.

I was born in Yorkshire in England, but grew up in Stranraer, a small town in south-west Scotland. I graduated from Edinburgh University and then came down to London, where I have lived ever since. I enjoy reading novels, watching films, and walking in the countryside.

“Good. They were eating grass at ten weeks old.”

I like the photographs in this book and the information. However, it is a bit odd to me that the book is written by the lamb; the book is full of "I" statements such as "I like to chase my sister and the other lambs around the field." Still, I will be using this book for my lamb lesson plan. I have not found many books on lambs specifically for my classroom so I am really glad that this one exists.
