How do we make sure children’s first introduction to the world of non-fiction is enjoyable and life enhancing? This book addresses this and other important questions with a careful consideration of different kinds of quality non-fiction – books, posters, charts and software – available for the very young. Covering bath and board books, books and toys, alphabet books, books and software on concepts like number, opposites, colours and sizes and very early information and reference texts, the gamut of resources is investigated. At the end of each chapter there are annotated lists of different kinds of non-fiction, helpful notes and suggestions for further reading. Throughout reference is made to the Early Learning Goals.
