Little Explorers Science Series

Description

When my children were younger, they loved to "lift the flaps" to see what was underneath. Filled with interesting information, colorful pages and graphics and quality cardstock flaps to lift, these books will appeal to the curious learner-especially the one who wants to touch everything! Here is just a taste of what children will learn. My Amazing Body explores where our food goes, how fast fingernails grow, where we come from (with a precious flap to open showing a baby in mommy's tummy) plus much more under the 50+ flaps. On the Move has over 30 flaps that explore vehicles inside and out: motorcycles, trains and trolleys, buses, boats...no vehicle is left unturned. Animal World offers more than 30 flaps and explores marine animals, wild-life, pets, rare animals and more. Outer Space with over 30 flaps rockets children through space travel, the moon landing, solar system and more. These books are perfect to keep little ones busy in the car or while homeschooling the olders. HC. ~ Deanne
