Rain, trees, pets and the family home make up the whole world to a three-year-old, and an environment workbook at this level works with exactly that material rather than reaching past it.
This is the opening title of the Manoj Publications environment strand, running to 64 paperback pages and sitting below the 4+ and 5+ books in the same set. Early environment work of this type leans on pictures, with a child colouring, circling or matching instead of reading long captions. The result is a book an adult can guide a child through in short sittings without needing any teaching background, and the tasks are short enough that stopping halfway through a page costs nothing.
For the shelf:
• The first step in a three-level environment series
• Picture-led tasks suited to children of three and up
• 64 pages that an adult can work through alongside a child
• Illustrations doing the work that reading would otherwise do
Well matched to parents of toddlers moving into playgroup and to early-years teachers, published by Manoj Publications and available at Boipoka.
