Emma Shoard Books

Life on the Thames is full of beautifully intricate watercolour style drawings and interesting information. Following the River Thames from its source, the information is written in a story-like way which makes for a fascinating read. Each page contains drawings and facts. The book also includes information about the environmental challenges that the River Thames continues to face.

This book would be perfect to use when looking at a river topic in Geography, or to find out facts about different species of animals or plants. The illustrations are exquisite and so wonderfully drawn they help to bind all the information together. You feel as if you are going on a journey through the winding course of the river every time you read it.
