• SEASONS
• TIME
• WEATHER

This series of books uses interactive play to teach young children about telling time, the weather, and the seasons. Colourful 3D and die-cut pages depict how these change. (For example, one page shows an image of 7 o’clock on the clock, followed on the next page by a picture of a child getting up in the morning.) Each title includes a spinning card for playing the games in the books—or for creating new ones! Understanding time and how the weather and seasons are connected to daily life helps children know how to behave, encouraging healthy social development.
