Nursery World - Learning and Development: First books (2)

Listen, Listen

written by Phillis Gershator and illustrated by Alison Jay

Barefoot Books, hardback

Phillis Gershator's rhythmic verse and Alison Jay's intricate images come together beautifully to celebrate the sights and sounds of the seasons. The lyrical, rhyming text is engaging, and a hide-and-seek section at the end of the text helps children learn what happens in nature each season. The wonderful illustrations are sure to open children's eyes and ears to the world around them and the changing of the seasons, from sizzling summer to winter's crackling snow. Barefoot Books gives its new title a 'reading alone' age range of four to seven and a 'read together' range of nought to four.
