MUMMY NATURE series - nurturing children's curiosity

Each book in the series is one mini nature lesson wrapped up in colour and rhyme. These books are intended for very young children including toddlers and will give them just a glimpse into some of the wonders of the natural world. Illustrated for maximum vibrancy and visual impact, using rhyme to engage young minds and encourage participation. Read the rhymes to your children and soon they will be reading them to you!

The narrator is a small child and keen observer who tells us in short rhyming phrases everything she thinks we should know, and all about the magical things she sees around her. Sometimes she is camouflaged in the long grass and other times she has to climb a tree to get a better look.

Review Quotes

"Using rhyme and colorful illustrations, Rebecca introduces young children to bacteria, where they like to live, what they like to eat and how you can't see them with the naked eye... Through a very simple and fun lesson, Rebecca begins to instil the benefits and necessities of good hygiene, but also avoids making bacteria into a scary monster. ...Meet Bacteria is a great way to start your child on the road to learning about nature and the numerous fascinating aspects of the world around us." ***** 5 star review by Bil Howard for Readers' Favorite
