|  | Moonlight and First Discoveries
|
Since 1982 Moonlight Publishing has been creating new kinds of
illustrated information books for children in English language.
Reference books for children provide a lot of interesting facts
answering the questions what?, where?, when? and who? . Moonlight does
this too but has always put the emphasis on answering the key questions
how? and why? - how things work, why the world is as it is, how
different facts are related to one another and why people and things
interact in everyday life as they do.
From the start our aim
has been to demonstrate why and how visually with excellent design and
illustrations accompanied by simple, straightforward texts. We have
benefited from the extraordinary creativity of our partner,
Gallimard-Jeunesse, and the outstanding illustrators, who have assured
our growing success over the last twenty years.
In each book
we have consciously set out to capture the imagination of our young
readers so that they become fascinated by what they discover and want
to find out more about the subject. Subjects such as geology, gemology etc. Discovery has always been the theme
behind our publishing and most of our series are named accordingly.
Over 40 million First Discovery books have been sold in 30 languages
around the world, which proves that the appeal of these books is
universal. This is because parents and teachers have found that using
First Discovery books can help children develop not only understanding
and knowledge but also concepts and skills. They are now widely used by
children between five and ten to learn English |
