Let's play with words... The Birds

Book excerpt: From 4 years old Discover all the vocabulary related to the birds and memorise it thanks to thorough descriptions and detailed pictures! The “Let's play with words” collection gathers illustrated ebooks for children, which aim to make them learn essential words on varied topics. EXTRACT Birds are covered with feathers called plumage. This protects them from the cold and allows to fly. The plumage of some birds can be very colourful. They fly with wings which are equipped with flight feathers. Birds do not give birth to living offspring but lay eggs instead, which then hatch in the nest. They use the beak to feed themselves, arrange their plumage and gather material to build their nest. ABOUT THE COLLECTION "Let's play with words" is a fun collection of e-books that promotes literacy and vocabulary acquisition on popular subjects taken from the world around us. Each book includes several short chapters on the subject at hand aimed at learning specific words through pictures, and includes the fully written texts as a guide at the back. For more advanced practice, young readers can also make up their own stories by following the pictures only, in such a way consolidating their vocabulary using their own words. The books are a useful source of learning specific vocabulary for native English speakers as well as learners of English – of all ages ! In the "Let's play with words" series : • In the garden • The Bees • On the farm • On the road • In the forest ABOUT THE AUTHORS Ivan Esenko presents the world of nature and invites the reader to learn more about the world that we are part of. His camera is his most faithful companion and its lens particularly likes to ‘capture’ those animals that live in close quarters to man. We take them so much for granted that we no longer seem to care for them. Ivan is their voice, he has become their ‘personal’ photographer. Alenka Vuk Trotovšek is an illustrator who knows how to give her imagination wings. She is inspired by fairy tales, children and nature. She likes to create dynamic illustrations with a touch of humour and mischief. She makes her characters come alive by breathing special life into them. ABOUT THE PUBLISHER Okaši is a Slovenian publisher with a vibrant programme. At every turn, nature reveals its new face and discloses a myriad of secrets. This is why we have devoted a special place to it in our publishing house. We are the creators of books that delight curious children and their parents in their discoveries of nature : in the home garden and the nearby park, but also further afield, in the fields and forests. At Okaši we keep pace with the times which is why have embarked upon several electronic editions of our books. We have added sound to these publications and hence a new dimension to the contents already there.
