At the Federation of Children's Book Groups conference we were blown away with this new concept.
The What on Earth Wallbook, from the Big Bang to present day.
A whole wall book of facts! It's a book with no spine, that doesn't mean it has no real bite, this book will give you all the facts and information you need to know about the whole history of the world for billions of years.
It's dynamic and creative and is just amazingly brilliant.
It goes on to become a whole wall display or even larger.... an outside huge wall covering for passers by.
It's a treasure hunt of learning, it's a story on a time line, and it changes scale like a telescope, especially as humans start to appear on the world scene.
On Monday April 30th Chris is launching the Wallbook of Sport on London's South Bank. a great event if you can make it, or find visit World of Books.
Definitely worth finding out more and you could even make a discovery about this wonderful world.
This is clear view thinking!
How Chris made this journey himself is fascinating and resonates with all who feel that the National Curriculum is a barrier to active learning.
Or, as Chris expressed it, " It makes discovery feel like looking through a pane of shattered glass".
