A brilliant guide to gods and goddesses from Ancient Greece, suitable for KS2.

Colourful pictures support a wealth of facts to inform children about the strengths and powers of the different gods and goddesses from Ancient Greece. Filled with exciting stories and surprising facts, readers will discover how Zeus became king of the gods, who gave Athens its name, and even why Hera turned a princess into a cow!

This is the perfect first introduction to the Greek myths for any child, with eye-catching artwork on every page by award-winning illustrator Tom Froese. The format gives each double-page spread one focus, and it is easily accessible to a wide range of abilities of children for the curriculum study of the Ancient Greeks.

This book is a must-read for all those knowledge-thirsty children who love learning about the Romans!

Focussing on the Roman Army and life as a soldier, the information is presented engagingly and enticingly, with clear illustrations and well-laid-out text. From information about the Roman soldiers, uniforms and weapons, and the organisation of the army, to less-known facts such as what happened if soldiers were injured, this book is a wealth of knowledge. My favourite ‘fun fact’ is that instead of toilet paper, there were sponges on sticks and balls of moss, which everyone shared!

Since the Roman Empire and its impact on Britain features on the National Curriculum, this book is a great resource for teachers and pupils alike.

A sweet and funny picture book about friendship – perfect for Pancake Day. Pancake recipe included!

It’s finally the day of Rabbit’s pancake picnic! She’s going to make the pancakes all by herself . . . but she can’t find her recipe book. Bother!

Rabbit decides to try to remember the recipe and adds syrup, strawberries, apples, and lots of other ingredients to the mixture. Her friends try to help, but Rabbit is desperate to make the pancakes on her own. Even when the mixture turns lumpy, sticky and looks, well . . . strange. Is Rabbit’s pancake picnic ruined? Perhaps she just needs to accept some help from her kind friends!

This beautifully illustrated picture book with its cast of adorable woodland animals combines all the fun of Pancake Day with important messages about knowing when to ask for help and the fun of working together. Children will love the fun counting element, joining in with the repeated phrases, and then making their very own pancakes using the recipe at the end of the book.

Every Nosy Crow paperback picture book comes with a free ‘Stories Aloud’ audio recording – just scan the QR code and listen along!
