Synopsis

Give your child a head start at school and have lots of fun at the same time. Bright photographs of children at work and play combine with games, puzzles, exercises and activities to stimulate the child's numeracy development, powers of concentration, and enjoyment of learning. Young readers will be drawn to the delightful action pictures of children just like them, and to the simplicity of the uncluttered pages. Focuses on different, key aspects of numeracy in turn - counting, adding and subtracting, measures, shape and space, time, direction and movement - using such devices as puzzles, games, recipes, and lots of ideas to try out at home, in nursery school and during the first year of primary school.
