5+: I Can Write: At the Zoo, In Town - Simon Abbott

Release Date: 19/09/11

BOOK BLURB:

Child-friendly ‘wipe-clean’ spreads allow children to recognise and practise writing first words. Each book features six scenes containing between four and six everyday words. The special pen and wipe-clean element allow children to first copy and then write each word, again and again. The colourful design treatment makes these interactive books highly appealing.




REVIEW:

At a time when everything moves on at a pace there are some things that you can do to help give your child an advantage and whilst most people tend to remember to help them to learn to draw, few think to try and help them with their letters. After all, after learning to draw this is perhaps one of the most essential lessons to give them the gift of not only word recognition but also help them get ahead of others as they also improve their reading.

What Simon’s books do is make learning fun, with bright pictures, wonderful wipeable pages and of course a pen to make sure that it can be done time after time. The only downside to this is that in all honesty you need to hide the pen when not in use. Great fun all in and a set that I love sharing with my nephews as soon they’ll be able to write me letters, a magical experience for all concerned.
