Everyday Life (A Child's First Library of Learning) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This work, in the Time-Life "A Child's First Library of Learning" series, is aimed at younger kids. Its focus is on everyday life. As such, this should be a good work for its target audience.
The format for each book in the series is a set of questions, followed by an answer and related issues. One to two pages per Q-A. To illustrate. The first question is on page 4, "Why do we wash every morning?" A part of the direct answer: "It makes us feel clean and fresh and ready to face the new day." Other features in the two page segment: the best way to wash a face, what parents do to start the day. Finally, a brief snippet on page 5 "The the parent." These brief features allow parents to talk about related matters in a bit more depth. Here, parents are told how to get kids used to washing their faces in the morning.
Other questions in the volume: Why do we dress in the morning? Why are pets not allowed in some buildings? Why is it wrong to play around and make noise on trains? Why can't we play outside after it gets dark? Why do we take baths? How do some doors open and close by themselves?
The final part of the book provides some active learning elements, such as a record of firsts for kids (first time I dressed myself on my own, for example), a record of things that a child enjoys, and so on.
All in all, another solid exemplar in this series.
