by Lynn Huggins - Cooper (Author)
This sixth book of a pre-school series of six titles developed in accordance with the government's new foundation guidelines focuses on fantastical adventures - such as mermaids, creatures from myths and legends, dragons and unicorns. It includes fun with static electricity - a flying fairies game, underwater shapes in a mermaid's garden and a "what's in the box?" poem. The government guidelines have six core early learning goals which are incorporated into each title in the series: physical development; creative development; personal, social and emotional development; communication, language and literacy; mathematical development and knowledge and understanding of the world. These new goals are not age-related, but attained in "stepping stones" stages that children aged 3 to 5 can work through at their own pace. "Play and Learn" incorporates this "stepping stone" ideology, with Book 1 being the easiest and Book 6 being the hardest. Each book uses colourful artwork and stimulating scenarios.
