The Squirrels' Busy Year: A Science Storybook about the Seasons (Science Storybooks)

I like this book a lot, I question however, the age suitability being named as 5 - 7 years in the promotion. This is a Picture Storybook after all, so, arguably, better that it be read out loud by others to a little people audience in a Nursery or Reception class? Or one-on-one at a reading time session snug in an armchair? Or as a bedtime story? So that participants can enjoy the pictures and respond to the questions in a pairing or a group. Better for children of early years is what I'm saying.I acknowledge that it is very difficult to gauge whether or not the concept of making a pre-school favourite (a picture storybook format in other words), into a teaching aid and an independent read for a child that is near ending his or her first grade education, is a wise one. I see there's another Picture Book title by the same author that stretches suitability up to 9 years. My children had left picture books well behind them by age 7...but perhaps I'm missing something.For full review visit 'Not Compulsory' blogspot.Review by Debra H for TSS
