The very hungry caterpillar's very first encyclopedia

The popularity of The Very Hungry Caterpillar series of books will be further enhanced by this beautifully presented first encyclopedia. With familiar images and colours, younger readers will enjoy learning about a myriad of topics. The contents page lists the following key headings: Our World, Body and Health, Earth, Animals and Nature, History, Science, Maths and Technology, Space. Under the main headings are further topics which are discussed over a double page spread with accessible text, plenty of ‘white’ space, bold headings, highlighted key words, labelled images and clever photographs. In the final pages there is a glossary, detailed index and acknowledgements.

Curious children can discover simple and introductory facts about hundreds of new and interesting topics including symmetry, electricity, exploring the world, colours, farm animals, incredible inventions, shapes, phases of the moon, what is alive, rocks and minerals, space travel, looking after your body and so much more. For early readers, this is a book for sharing and reading together. For older more confident readers, one which they can go back to time and time again.

Themes: Facts, STEM, Curiosity.
