Recensioner i media

I really enjoyed that the story follows a nut, a familiar object, all the way through its various journeys and cycle of life. I haven't seen a non-fiction book like this before and I think [the titles in the Start Small, Think Big series] are really special and a great addition to the bookshelf. I honestly can't wait to share these books with my class and use these across a series of different lessons, from Science and Understanding the World through to English lessons and looking at different text types. I am looking forward to seeing more of these.
