It was good to get out of the house and talk to people today. The Redcar & Cleveland Learning Days look as if they are going to be interesting, engaging and good fun. I'm getting involved with Maths through Stories, the Christmas Lecture and Exploring Earth and Space.
From the discussions, a couple of books came to mind which you might like to investigate if you don't know them.
Tuesday by David Weisner (A brilliant spooky picture book)
Is a blue whale the biggest thing there is? by Robert E. Wells
(From a blue whale to the size of the universe, nicely done)
I also ended up talking about Shaun Tan and his award-winning animation The Lost Thing. Several of his books were highly recommended by my colleague.
