As they follow the trails, whether straight, wavy, or loopy, toddlers will lead the animals to their homes and the tractor back to barn. Peepholes on each spread show which animal will need help next, and a mix-and-match game at the end of the book with four glittery trails puts all the learned skills together, prompting toddlers to match each animal to its correct destination.

Follow the Trail: Farm is perfect for hands-on learning and sensory play, and teaches preschoolers fine motor skills as they explore the cuddly and wonderful world of the farm.

How Science Works: The Facts Visually Explained: I would recommend this books for older children who can read and are interested in science. My 7-year-old loves sitting down to read some of the facts and I love how much he has been learning so far. I am sure this book will also get more use as both the boys get older.

How Science Works uses clear, easy-to-understand graphics to answer common questions and explain difficult concepts–not only the core science topics that eluded us at school, but also the cutting-edge science reported in the news.

Have you ever wondered how airplanes stay in the air, how holograms are made, or how ants lift things many times their size? You’ll find answers to these enigmas as well as learn about more complex developments, including the discovery of the Higgs boson, gravitational waves, and the mysteries of dark matter. Topic spreads include Q&A features, short-story sections, and simple graphics to answer all your questions about scientific principles, from familiar conundrums to mysteries that evade even the brightest minds.
