Learn all about time with Mo the Monster and his friends in this fun first science book for children aged 5+

Description

Learn all about time with Mo the Monster and his friends in this fun first science book for children aged 5+.

When Mo is late for a football match, he knows it really is time to learn about time! Through the course of a year with Monster FC, he is going to learn about minutes, hours, days, seasons, how monsters (and humans) change with time, and much more! But can Mo stay out of trouble while he's having so much fun? Don't count on it!

If a monster can understand science, anyone can! Join Mo the Monster as he discovers the basic principles of science. Along the way, Mo is kept focused (monsters are notoriously easily distracted) with the help of simple, clearly presented information, plenty of questions to answer, and lots of science puzzles and activities.

The funny, colourful illustrations offer lots of scope for humour and interest to keep children engaged while they learn. Aimed at readers aged 5+.
