Books published by publisher ZERO TO TEN

Part of a series which reviews the plays of Shakespeare in the context of Shakespeare's life and times. Each play is summarized, using as much of the original text as possible. The main characters are described - their appearance, their personality and their motivation - and the illustrations display the characters in costume to help the reader relate to the times in which the play is set. This particular book looks at the play "The Tempest".

This series uses child-friendly stories and illustrations to show how conflict situations can be resolved. Each book contains two stories set in a primary school which can encourage children to relate to their everyday experiences. The range of behavior that needs resolving is not simply solved by adult intervention, often the children are able to sort the problem out themselves. At the end of each book there is a page asking children to think about the situations that arose in the stories and to think about how they would behave if they were one of the characters.

A mixture of art, photography, and large, clear type introduces children to the correlation between textures, tastes, and appearances of fruits and vegetables. Printed on heavy-duty card stock and hand-stitched to ensure maximum longevity, these stunning books go far beyond just naming familiar foods. Each displays a clear photograph of the food against a dramatic painted background. Upon opening the full-page foldout of the fruit or vegetable, kids can distinguish which are hot and spicy, cool and smooth, or sweet and juicy.
