"Mama's milk has always been a part of Jack's life. That's changing now that he's a toddler, and that's hard. But Mama's cuddling arms, lullaby voice, and thump-thump heartbeat won't change, even when the milk is gone"--

Can super helpers Camilla and Parsley help their friends the bees find enough flowers and water during a hot, dry summer?

When beavers make a dam that changes the path of the river, Camilla has to help make new maps and learn that change can be a good thing.

Camilla loves maps. Old ones, new ones, she loves them all! She often imagines what it must have been like to explore and discover a new path for the first time. One morning, Camilla wakes up to a snow storm. Her neighbour Parsley can't find the path to the creek. But Camilla has her old map-which inspires her to make her own path and her own map!

Learning to read and draw maps is a fun and interactive way for children to develop spatial thinking skills - how we think about and understand the world around us and use concepts of space for problem solving. Early exposure to map concepts can help foster this type of cognitive development in children and boost their maths and science learning as they progress through school.

En sen aften følger vaskebjørnen Berta efter sin familie ud af hulen. De skal hen til de bedste skraldespande i byen. Berta finder et glas jordnøddesmør, og bliver væk fra resten af familien. Berta får tårer i øjnene. Hvordan skal hun nu finde hjem til sin familie og den lune hule? Den venlige ugle hjælper Berta. Den kan se verden i fugleperspektiv og hjælper Berta til at orientere sig i verden omkring sig og finde vejen hjem!Ved at læse denne bog sammen med børn, kan du hjælpe dem med at udvikle deres evne til at tænke i rum. At tænke i rum betyder, at vi tænker på verden omkring os, at vi forstår den og bruger vores rumopfattelse til at løse problemer. Hvis børn tidligt bliver præsenteret for rumlige forestillinger, kan det understøtte deres kognitive udvikling og styrke deres læring i fag som matematik og naturfag.Sidst i bogen er der et afsnit til forældre og fagfolk med mere information om rumlige begreber samt spørgsmål, opgaver og aktiviteter, der kan styrke børns rumlige tænkning.
