One of a series covering all the senses and based on the requirements of the Key Stage One science curriculum, 'Hearing' begins by examining different sounds and moves on to look at how our ears hear them. It also looks at what happens when people can't hear and looking after ears. The illustrations and examples refer to a child's likely everyday experiences so making the information accessible to the youngest readers. Notes for parents and teachers include suggestions for learning activities that reinforce the information in the book. The book also includes a list of further reading and resources. Mike Gordon is a highly successful illustrator whose work for Wayland has established a respected information books brand.
