AN OPTIONAL IDEA FOR SHARED TIME

Try the theme together

Choose a shape or pattern from the cover and sketch it on spare paper. Ask what your child notices first. Look up any questions about a creature’s defenses together in a suitable nature reference.

These are parent activity suggestions, not a description of specific interior pages or a promise of learning outcomes.

Explore more of the natural world

The wider Creatures collection includes artwork themed around glowing, camouflage, building, transformation, defense and working together. Check the series listing for the editions currently available.
