Days of the week
Only £4.99

In a sing-song story, Panda goes through the days of her week, saying what she does each day. Monday is nursery day, Tuesday is shopping day, Wednesday is washing day... With sweet, humorous illustrations of what she gets up to each day - painting a rainbow at nursery on Monday, baking with grandma on Thursday, and playing in the park on Saturday - this charming book uses repetition and rhythm to encourage young children to join in naming the days of the week.

🐧🐧🐧 It's World Penguin Day! 🐧🐧🐧
Who doesn't love a penguin with their fantastic parenting skills and adorable babies?
BUT you might not like these rude and naughty penguins who put on a show of politeness in order to impress the Emperor, who is coming to judge THE BEST TOWN COMPETITION. The penguins are desperate to win first prize - a year's free supply of fish. But when the Emperor arrives, the penguins are in for a shock... he is the rudest penguin they have ever met! Perhaps it's time to teach the Emperor some manners?

🌎 Happy Earth Day! 🌏

This year's theme is Invest in Our Planet, and one very important way to do this is to bring up our children to love and respect the world we live in.

Usborne have created a free 30-minute, educational 'Love Your Planet' video with accompanying teachers' resources* to give to every school who would like it. Whether you’re fascinated by the world’s biggest cave, spooky weather, or practical tips on helping planet Earth, this Fact Force event is perfect for curious kids.

The Usborne Fact Force is an elite team of Usborne non-fiction authors. Their mission is to uncover the most interesting, eye-popping facts in the world and share them with children.

At Usborne we believe that children can understand anything if explained in the right way. The Fact Force's superpower is that they make complicated things simple, and simple things fascinating.

Want to bring the Love Your Planet Fact Force event into your classroom? Watch the trailer and access the video free here: https://bit.ly/3N9ztNu

*As well as the video there is a 14 page schools’ resource pack packed full of activities which link the event to Key Stage 2 Science, Literacy, Geography and Citizenship.
