'The Usborne First Illustrated Maths Dictionary and it's Science counterpart are every parent/carer's best friend! No more tricky homework explanations- these books are easy to use and have fantastic illustrated examples throughout. The science dictionary explains terms and gives ideas for experiments and projects and the maths dictionary uses plain everyday language to explain and illustrate maths concepts to children (and the grown ups scratching their heads next to them)' - Rhino Readers
