My First Discoveries
영, 유아용 첫발견 시리즈 중 'Nature' 즉, 자연과 동물에 관한 기본 개념을 가르쳐 주는 책
입니다.
각 동물과 곤충의 특징을 제대로 살린 섬세한 그림을 통해 동물과 곤충의 생활 모습, 특히
'움직임'을 보여주고 있습니다.
껑충껑충 뛰거나, 날거나, 수영을 하는 등 그 특징적인 움직임을 크게 7가지로 분류하여 각
각 3가지 동물(혹은 곤충)을 예로 들어 이해를 도와주지요.
일반적인 동물의 분류와는 달리 아이들이 쉽게 눈으로 보고 확인할 수 있는 행동을 그 기준
으로 했다는 것이 매우 신선합니다.
책 넘기는 부분이 계단식으로 층이 져 있어 원하는 그림을 바로 선택해 볼 수 있도록 한 점
도 아이들의 호기심을 끕니다.
