One title from the First Explorer Series, an early learning collection from M. D. Gunasena intended for children aged two and above. The concept here is opposites, presented in the way the series handles each of its subjects: a single first idea per book, carried by colourful, child-friendly illustrations rather than text a small child cannot yet read.
The series is built around the kind of looking and naming that comes before reading. The publisher's aim for each book is to build vocabulary, sharpen observation and give a young learner confidence with a concept they will meet again and again — in this case the pairings that organise so much of early language. The illustration does the explaining, which is what makes these books work for an adult and child sitting together as much as for a child turning pages alone.
It suits a parent, grandparent or nursery teacher looking for sturdy first-concept books in English, and it works equally as a gift for a toddler who is just beginning to point and name. Being part of a series, it sits alongside companion titles covering other first subjects, so a household that takes to one can add others.
