The engaging and inspiring way to explore nature

Have you ever wondered where bees live or how plants grow? This book is the perfect place to explore all the things you love about nature. This is a little book filled with colour, and animals, and plants, and habitats. It shows you just how much nature there is to find all around. It's been specially designed to introduce little children to the world of science vocabulary, giving them key words to talk about the natural world they live in. This book creates a moment for children and adults to discover first words about animals, plants, and habitats. Written and illustrated by the same team as 'Big Words for Little People', this series is special, not only because it focuses on science in a child-friendly way, but because it's from Oxford, it's packed with educational goodness that helps children develop and grow. And when you're finished, you'll know that a toadstool has never been a plant, and never will be, but has been a fungus all along.
