This gorgeous series makes a perfect gift for creative children.
-- Frances Morris, Director, Tate Modern Museum
Take Me Home is filled with activities that encourage children to
explore the place where they live, jot down their ideas and draw what
they see. As they discover new facts, make lists, and answer questions
they are prompted to look at their own home in new ways - observing its
different spaces and the objects that fill it.
Crammed with facts, lively illustrations and inspiring activities, this
fun-filled book is perfect for spending creative time at home - just the
thing for homeschool groups, or for parents looking for interesting
after-school and rainy-day activities. With Take Me Home as their
guide, children don't need to go further than their own front door to
discover new things!
Fun, quirky and bursting with information about homes throughout
history; architecture and design; the way things work; and the artists
and writers whose stories are inspired by living spaces; this book is
the perfect gift for curious and creative children.
