Jolly Songs (Jolly Phonics)

Childrens Toy Shop > Children & Baby Books > Hobbies and Interests
from: Jolly Learning Ltd

2005-01
The tunes are catchy as the words have been put to well known tunes but they are so short for each letter, which was a bit disappointing. The book is good and my 3 1/2 year old seems to enjoy the tunes. Perhaps 'short and sweet' is best for the little ones? Overall good value for money.

The Official "Doctor Who" Annual 2009 ("Doctor Who")

Childrens Toy Shop > Children & Baby Books > Hobbies and Interests
by: BBC

October 30, 2008
Once again, the BBC have put together an excellent Doctor Who annual for all television fans of the programme, young and old. Gracing the front cover is the Doctor and the Red Dalek Supreme and Davros on the back cover, all on a silver foil backing which makes the annual 'stand out' amongst the rest!
Readers of BBC's Doctor Who Adventures comic will instantly recognise the format inside the annual. Every page is covered with facts and features on Series Four and readers are re-introduced to Donna, Martha, Sarah Jane, Rose and Jenny, as well as the Ood, Adipose, Master, Hath, Sontarans and, of course, Davros and his Daleks. With a mix of text story, comic strips and puzzles, this annual is a worthy accompaniment to the Doctor Who StorybookDoctor ... Read More:

Essential A2 Biology for OCR (Essential A2)

Childrens Toy Shop > Children & Baby Books > Hobbies and Interests
by: Glenn Toole, Sue Toole

July 30, 2004
This book provides a very clear set of notes on central concepts as compared to the Biology 2 book. Every chapter in this book is a double spead, accompanied with diagrams. Information is mainly in bullet point format, which makes revision easier. At the end of certain chapters, it has a summary test, which contains answers. This book only focuses on the core stuff, whereas biology 2 contains lots of unecessary information. At the very end of book, it has past exam questions taken directly from the past papers, not made up. This book does a fantastic job on homeostasis, respiration and mitosis and cell division.

the only criticism i would point out is like biology 2, it does not have a chapter on unifying cocepts, and it does not provide ... Read More:

KS3 Science: Revision Guide - Levels 5-7 (Revision Guides)

Childrens Toy Shop > Children & Baby Books > Hobbies and Interests
by: Richard Parsons, Paddy Gannon

October 21, 1999
This revision guide summarises clearly and concisely all the science you need up to and including Year 9, with sections on Life Processes, Materials and Physical Processes. And it's great for learning because it explains everything in an entertaining and accessible format (check out the cold polar bear and the elephant in stilettos!). Our children have worked steadily through it preparing for exams, and the pages are getting dog-eared.

Conclusion: a comprehensive and well-written guide to KS3 Science. Wish we'd had books like this when I was at school.

World Team

Childrens Toy Shop > Children & Baby Books > Hobbies and Interests
by: Tim Vyner

May 02, 2002
I am a teacher of 7 year olds and have found that this is the most wonderful book for giving children new views on the world, exploring the idea of timezones and on a topic (soccer) which is popular world over. The children found it so exciting to believe that while they were sleeping, somewhere else in the world, someone is practising soccer against a wall in a town or on the beach, for example. It gives them a greater perspective of the world we live in, as you can see so many different cultures, countries and races represented. It's more a book for discussion with your child or to teach from, rather than a book for a young child to read alone. I highly recommend it!

The Digital Photography Handbook

Childrens Toy Shop > Children & Baby Books > Hobbies and Interests
by: Doug Harman

December 19, 2007
I took up digital photography recently and bought this book, after been diappointed with another photo book.
This book is a must for the person new at digital photography. It goes hand in hand with my Canon 400D.
The book is very up to date,last published in 2008. I wanted how to learn how to take good photos and not just how to work in the dark room or editing pics etc;
I wasn't diappointed. This covers the purchase of a camera, the lens you need, other accessories, photo techniques etc; There are even tips on most of the pages, things to do and not do!
This book is a great reference and a valuable read for the photographer.

I highly recommend this book, especially for the beginner to digital photography.
