Entertaining book

This is a fun book that explains why geckos don't blink. This book provides animal facts with a dose of humor that entertained my six year old daughter. She was able to read this without difficulty. Looking forward to reading more from this amusing series.

Fantastic!

Geckos Don't Blink is another book in the fantastic Awesome Animals series. It is the third one that myself and my four year old son have read together and they are all fantastic (although I think this one is my favourite!) and we have learnt something new from each one of them.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

different and great

Wow, this was actually great! How cool to know so many facts. Presentation was great, story was interesting, pictures were well done, and overall, refreshing. So unusual and a great introduction to some science for small children. A+!

About the series

Awesome Animals is a children’s non-fiction series. It explores the animal kingdom to gently introduce our little ones to body diversity. Each book features an animal which is missing something that we're taught to expect should be there. But these animals don’t just thrive despite that absence, they thrive because of it.

The Awesome Animals series uses a dyslexia-friendly type-face.

With dyslexia, we often focus on the challenges - difficulty reading. But thanks to the way the dyslexic brain is built, people with dyslexia are often creative, intuitive and highly successful. In other words, those people aren't thriving despite their dyslexic brain, they are thriving because of it.

Quotes

👉

“I believe kids are fabulously weird, and their stories should be too.”

👉

“When my first child was born, we were given an entire collection of classic books. I was thrilled to share these stories from my own childhood with my daughter, but that excitement quickly dampened as I opened them up: racism, misogyny, body-shaming, you name it. Even the young white males who are held on a pedestal are fed heart-breakingly toxic ideas. I started writing because I was tired of constantly changing words or addressing out-dated ideas on the fly.”

👉

“You don't need to have a dyslexic brain to be a dyslexia advocate. You just need to be willing to put in a little effort so that every child that is capable of succeeding, does. It takes a village.”
