A wipe-clean book of fun activities to help preschool children practise their pen control essential for learning to write. Children can trace over the dots on each page to draw a castle stronghold, add cheeky monkeys' tales to a jungle scene or complete a frosty snowman. Perfect for children who are about to start school, who are expected to be able to hold a pen and write their own name before they do so. The wipe-clean pages and special pen enable children to return to their favourite pages again and again.
Features a range of scenes and concentrates on different types of lines, so straight lines, circles, swirls etc. We were able to talk about some of the shapes we could see... I really love these wipe clean books. * Let Them Be Small *
Sam grew up in Buckinghamshire, falling off various bicycles before reading books and making up his own stories about more competent heroes. After studying English at Cambridge University, he joined Usborne in 2013, and now writes titles ranging from fold-out solar systems to maze books full of swashbuckling pirates. Sometimes, Sam cycles to work.
