Town and Country (A Turnaround Book)

Book Synopsis

Compare town and country scenes full of clever little details in this beautiful new Turnaround Book – spot buses, trains, and skyscrapers in the town and tractors, mountains, and farm animals in the country. Open the book one way to explore the town scene and then flip the book over to delve into the country landscape. What can you see that’s the same in both scenes? What can you spot that’s different?

With a mini glossary for each picture – featuring tiny pictures picked out from the main scene – Town and Country is completely absorbing for children who are just starting to engage with simple written words. For younger children, this is a great read-together title – pick an item on the glossary panel, then try to find it in the big picture – an excellent introduction to looking carefully and naming objects.

Our Review Panel says...

Compare town and country scenes in this spotting book with a difference! Each page contains a town scene with a panel of items to spot in the picture. Once the book is flipped the other way up there is a country scene along the same theme (jobs, food, hobbies etc.). Readers can spot the similarities and differences in each scene, making this book a great stimulus to generate talk around the topic and to deepen understanding of some of the human and physical geographical contrasts between town and country in a way that is engaging and fun for young children learning about different places to live.
