Right, now these animals don't want to go to school! But step by step, each one discovers that to go to school is really very important for animals, as well as for children! A funny way to learn and a funny way to teach. As everyone knows how difficult it can be to explain to young children how important it is to go to school... This is the 4th Episode of “The Book of The Animals” children's books series by J.N. Paquet. FUN LEARNING FOR CHILDREN AND PARENTS What are certainly the four most occurring moments in a parent's life? When their child doesn't want to wash, doesn't want to eat, doesn't want to sleep and doesn't want to go to school. And what can a parent answer to these refusals? The successful “Book of The Animals” children's books series was created with the aim to help both parents and children to discover the benefits of washing, eating, sleeping and going to school, in a fun as well as educational manner. Parents will enjoy the teaching and the interactivity they can gain from reading them with their children. “These Animals... Don't Want to Go to School!” is one more example of that reciprocal fun learning. It is the fourth episode of the series by author J.N. Paquet. It is currently available both as paperback and eBook formats. In this new episode of the series, children will discover the benefits of going to school, with the help of their favourite friends, the animals! As with the other books in the series, children will not only discover the benefits of going to school, but they will also discover some new animals, new words and new situations. The book makes fun learning something essential in the child's general learning process. THE AUDIENCE The books are geared towards children aged 2-5, before elementary/primary school.

More versions are still to come... REVIEW “The Book of the Animals is a planned series of illustrated books for young children. [...] These delightful books tell the story of what happens when the animals in the stories, like many young children, don't want to eat and don't want to wash... The books are very suitable both for reading to young children and for older children to use to learn to read in both languages. They might even persuade them to wash and eat their dinner! The repetitive structure is supportive of children learning new words and the illustrations work well alongside the text to help understanding of unfamiliar words. I can easily imagine young children demanding repeat readings and enjoying learning the text by heart as many children do with favourite stories. Children learning to make up and write their own stories might well want to write a personalised version, using the structure as a prop. I think the stories would work well both in the home and in the classroom.” (Review published in The Cass School of Education, by Dr Raymonde Sneddon, Research Fellow for “The Cass School of Education” at the University of East London, and Honorary Research Fellow of Birkbeck College, in the Departmnent of Applied Linguistics and Communication.)
