Mental Maths Games for Clever Kids (R)

A fun, friendly introduction to maths, covering all the topics taught in school.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nJoin a cast of entertaining bugs as they explore maths through everyday examples, from handling numbers and times tables to weighing ingredients and telling the time. Fun puzzles allow readers to practise what theyve learned.

A cute series for pre-school children to start gaining more confidence with numbers and colours. In the second volume, colours are introduced using items taken from familiar contexts so that the little readers can learn new words as well as the theory of colours, how to distinguish primary colours and how to mix them to make new ones.
