Your Local Area: Shops

This exciting book lets children explore the popular topic of shops by looking around their local area. From butchers shops and market days to malls and supermarkets, children will find out what shops can tell them about how people live and work, how they shop and travel, and how they spend their leisure time. Readers will also hunt for clues that reveal how people shopped in the past, and think about changes that could benefit the shops in their own local area. This lively book stimulates curiosity and links into plenty of curriculum learning areas, while helping children to develop a stronger understanding of the community they live in.
