Rubbish, recycling, weather, wildlife and the pressure human activity puts on all of it form the subject matter of this environment activity book.
Rather than presenting the topic as a list of warnings, the pages turn it into puzzles, matching exercises and observation tasks, so a child works out the connections between habits and consequences instead of being told them. Sections cover pollution, conservation, habitats and the natural cycles that keep them going, with illustration throughout. The activity format also makes it easy to use a few pages at a time alongside school science work.
Points for gift buyers:
• Environmental topics presented as puzzles and observation tasks
• Covers pollution, recycling, habitats and natural cycles
• Illustrated pages that keep a longer session manageable
• Pairs well with primary school science topics
Aimed at children of about six and above, and useful to teachers and home-schooling parents introducing conservation; published by Dreamland Publications and stocked by Boipoka.
