Reviews

Louise

Bird Builds a Nest is a science storybook about forces. It is a story about bird who builds her nest using all the different forces necessary to get her nest built in time. The key vocabulary of pushing, pulling, turning and lifting is skilfully coupled with simple illustrations which compliment the text beautifully. It's a book where key vocabulary can really be exploited; used to created word banks, perfect for an introduction into forces and positional language and all wrapped neatly in a story about Bird! It is sure to delight and capture any young readers interest as well as provided them with the all important lesson in key vocabulary and meaning. Picture book / Ages 5+ / Reviewed by Louise Gahan, teacher.
