Irelandopedia Weather is one of four new boardbooks from the creators of Irelandopedia.
A beautiful boardbook, readers and parents may recognise the colourful illustrations and design from the original Irelandopedia, which taught young readers all about Ireland. Now, John and Kathi Burke have created a wonderful boardbook for pre-readers.
Anyone familiar with the Burkes’ previous work will recognise the style of the striking illustrations. This boardbook is a welcome addition to the Irelandopedia series, and is aimed at the youngest readers, featuring the numbers 1–10. The numerical form as well as the word in English and in Irish appears in clear white font on brightly coloured pages. This dual language format makes it easy for parents to introduce small children to numbers in two languages simultaneously.
Irelandopedia Colours gives families an opportunity to explore colours in both English and in Irish.
