In this appealing and attractive volume, Jan Brueghel's elaborate 1613 painting The Entry of the Animals into Noah's Ark is cleverly transformed into a look-and-find book for children. Twenty-five detailed illustrations prompt eaders to identify different kinds of animals while accompanying text shows the word for each animal in English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, and Japanese. Each word is also spelled out phonetically, so parents can help young readers learn to pronounce the foreign names correctly. A color foldout of the painting in its entirety makes it fun for young readers to locate each animal from Noah's Ark.

So the witch gave the little mermaid a magic drink, and cut off her tongue.

From Home to School with Autism: How to Make Inclusion a Success
Beginning primary school is a challenging time for most young children. For those with an Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) the significant changes involved can be overwhelming, and everyone involved will be in need of guidance to make the transition as smooth and as stress-free as possible. This positive and practical book arms schools with a wealth of essential information, easy-to-implement strategies and photocopiable resources that will help to make early schooldays an enjoyable experience for young children on the spectrum.
This teacher-friendly book focuses on learning at all levels in secondary schools. The authors are mainly concerned with how young people learn and how those in different roles in schools can promote their learning. They combine research with challenging ideas to stimulate tutors, subject teachers, team leaders and school managers as well as mentors and governors to think about their role in young people's learning. They examine these relationships within school and beyond its boundaries. The authors do this by drawing on different voices in secondary schools: young people, as well as parents, teachers and others who have a role in supporting young people's learning.
