LITTLE, BROWN NUT - VOL. 2

Start Small, Think Big – books that open up a child’s world and spark curiosity. With a giant fold-out map, an illustrated life cycle and an I-Spy animal game.

Starting with a large, weighty fruit falling to the forest floor, follow a little, brown nut as it turns into the tallest tree in the Amazon rainforest. Perfect for the budding scientist in your house, this innovative and beautifully illustrated book introduces topics, facts and science to support your child’s learning.

Join the little brown nut as it sits and waits for an agouti, a rodent with teeth so strong that only it can free the nut from its hard casing, so it can grow into a tall Brazil nut tree. This easy-to-read story will transport you to the Amazon rainforest and the animals and people who flourish and live there. The narrative has two levels. The main story is written in the first person for emerging readers, with additional factual text for confident readers and shared reading. The giant fold-out map will surprise and fascinate every child, and the I-Spy game will take them back into the book to find an array of rainforest animals.
