The Animal Senses Big Book is part of the Cambridge Reading Range of Genres (non-fiction) strand for Year 1/Primary 2. It is ideal for sharing with groups or to use for whole class shared sessions. It looks at the special ways in which animals use their senses to find out about the world around them. Sections focus upon each sense in turn and the book ends with some intriguing mysteries about animals that seem to have a 'sixth sense'. There are also some games and activities for children to try out to test their own senses! The contents page and index will help children to access particular information about animals that especially interest them. There is also a useful glossary that explains some of the more unfamiliar words and concepts introduced.
