Teach your children about the animals of the savannah with this fun and educational book that is part of a new series alongside two other titles: Rainforest and Polar Regions. Five animals are explored through rhyme, pictures and pull-out 2D figures to construct into 3D: leopard, giraffe, elephant, lion and zebra. With two spreads dedicated to each animal, adults will be able to read the short playful rhyme on each spread to children and look at the bright illustrations to teach them about the animal and its environment. Children will then be able to pop out the paper animals from the perforated pages contained in an pocket in the back of the book and create 3D figures by simple folding and a few dabs of glue. This will help develop their motor skills and encourage imaginative play and conversation.

Teach your children about our feathered friends with this fun and educational book, which is part of a series alongside three existing titles, 'The Safari Set', 'The Polar Pack' and 'The Jungle Crew', and two new titles exploring sea creatures and forest animals. Five birds - a flamingo, owl, hummingbird, albatross and pelican - are explored through rhyme, pictures and pull-out cards to construct into 3D figures. With two spreads dedicated to each bird, adults will be able to read the short playful rhyme on each spread to children and look at the bright illustrations to teach them about their habits and environment. Children will then be able to pop out the card birds from the perforated pages contained in a pocket at the back of the book and create 3D figures simply by folding and adding a few dabs of glue. The inside of the dust jacket is printed in full colour, with a graphical representation of the birds environment. Children have the option of using this as a backdrop for the birds and there are also accessories to make and add to the scene. This activity will help develop their motor skills and encourage imaginative play and conversation.
