Books in First Times series

First experiences can be exciting, but they can be worrying too. The First Times series explores exciting and memorable first events in young children's lives. Each title has been carefully planned to show a child responding to a real life situation exploring both their worries and their excitement. Specially commissioned photographs take the reader though the narrative giving lots of opportunities for sharing and discussing experiences. Two levels of text offer the chance for young children to join in if they can at either level or simply to enjoy looking at the pictures. "Notes for Teachers and Parents" provides invaluable support and provides further information about how to deal with these first experiences. In this book, Bethan Evans tells you about her new sister.

How long will it take? What will we do? What happens if I get lost? Reading Big Day Out with your child is the perfect opportunity to talk about these questions, and many more! There's a FIRST TIME for everything! Young children's lives are full of new experiences, and these books help make these enjoyable and rewarding. The simple conversational text and lively illustrations are carefully designed to encourage further dialogue between reader and child.
