All About Families (My First Book)

Product Information

Unlike the Usborne ‘look inside’ books that have larger more complex illustrations and smaller flaps to lift, which make the reading more interactive, this book is very plain and each page looks very similar to the last. I personally loved the family tree and I will use it when my son is 6 or 7 to make our own family tree. Whatever size or shape, whatever background you come from, whatever language you speak, homes you live in, and occasions you celebrate. Felicity has worked for Usborne for over 30 years and has written and edited hundreds of titles, from books on tractors to genetics, from Shakespeare to mental health, and plenty of sparkly unicorns.

Now her Tidy Books bookcases and storage designs are encouraging independence and a love of reading in kids all over the world. I would like to have seen more depth and detail about family life, and humour to provoke more interest or questions. As a family, we have thoroughly enjoyed sharing this book with our son during our bedtime and weekend reads.Our son could identify which family was similar to ours and learning about people speaking different languages in families (he hadn’t heard us speak another language rather than English until then) and it aroused his interest in languages and he made efforts to learn words in my (dad’s) language. That’s why, with the help of an interior designer, I created new colours for the original, classic Tidy Books bookcase. Our parcels are packed in cardboard boxes, cushioned with recyclable paper and closed with strong paper tape. It could also support a nursery or pre-school project on family trees, or possibly even in a Reception classroom for EAL pupils. Having mentioned that, I am also aware of the fact that some parts are left open-ended (like above) for parents to build onto and provide further details as they wish – which may have been the purpose after all.

Images about di fferent customs is a great way of knowing about how other religions and countries celebrate important dates. With delightful illustrations, this glorious celebration of family diversity discusses the differences that make family life so rewarding and special!I wonder if the book would be useful when teaching speakers of English as a Second Language, for example, in a pre-school classroom, about English culture. With delightful illustrations, this glorious celebration of family diversity talks about lone-parent families, adoptive, foster, divorced, remarried, and mixed race families, and lots, lots more, showing little children that families come in all shapes and sizes.
