The Oxford 1 2 3 Book of Number Rhymes

release date: Jan 01, 1992
The Oxford 1 2 3 Book of Number Rhymes
One of a child''s most exciting early challenges is discovering the world of numbers: what do they look like? what do they mean? how does a person answer the questions "how much" and "how many"? The Oxford 123 Book of Number Rhymes is a lively introduction to the numerals one through ten that makes learning about numbers as much fun as it is educational. The book presents each number through imaginative poems and pictures, as well as puzzles, games, jokes, and limericks--all accompanied by happy and colorful illustrations--that directly involve young readers in the explanations. The book also introduces other important concepts through numbers, such as the seven days of the week, the five senses, and other basic elements that make up a young child''s world. After they''ve mastered the individual numerals, the longer poems at the end of the book challenge children to practice counting in sequence. For parents and children to discover together, and for more experienced young readers to explore on their own, The Oxford 123 Book of Number Rhymes is a fine introduction to one of the first important concepts a child will learn.

Storia di un ruttino e altri versi

release date: Sep 04, 2014
Storia di un ruttino e altri versi
In inglese “baby burp” è il ruttino che i genitori cercano di provocare nel neonato dopo la poppata. Quando finalmente il ruttino vien fuori, di solito la mamma o il papà si sentono sollevati e si complimentano con l’esecutore come fosse un musicista: “Bravo! Bravo!” Poi, non si sa esattamente a che età, fare un ruttino a tavola non è più consentito. A ben leggere, però, “baby burp” può essere anche un rutto appena nato. Non il rutto di un bambino, ma un rutto bambino. Dunque può succedere, che a una ragazzina inglese scappi un ruttino. I genitori non apprezzeranno e lei si scuserà. Ma Ruttino non sarà molto contento della fredda accoglienza che la famiglia gli ha riservato, e così comincerà a volare per la stanza, e poi scapperà di casa, se ne andrà fuori dalla finestra, in giro per i quartieri di Londra... Roger McGough rovista nell’inventario di suoni e significati delle parole e ne trae mondi inimmaginabili, ritmi pop e storie pazzesche.
