Children's books. Learning & Discovery.

[Paul21455]

Can anyone suggest a series of current books, to help with learning & discovery for a child aged 5 - 8 years. I'm thinking along the lines of the old I-Spy books, which had a book for lots of themes, such as seaside, trees, birds, insects and so on.

The sort I'm thinking of, is where a child would tick a box when a specific item has been spotted, or something very similar. Look and find themes.

Would be grateful for any suggestions. Thanks.
