Description

Lemur Saves Energy offers a gentle introduction to the concept of using energy carefully for young children.

In this humorous story, Lemur is always wasting energy. He forgets to switch off the light, he lets all the hot air out of the front door and all the cold air out of the fridge. But when a big energy bill arrives, Lemur wants to make a change!

This charming book is the perfect way to introduce young children to the concept of conserving energy. Also included are suggestions for activities and ideas to talk through together to help children understand the concept.

The Nature Matters series of picture books provide a gentle means of promoting concepts of environmental issues, boosting self-esteem and reinforcing good behaviour. Supports the Personal, Social and Emotional Development Area of Learning in the Early Years Foundation Stage, and is also suitable for use with children in KS1 and can be used to discuss citizenship and values. Suitable for children aged 3+.
