Little, Brown Nut by Mary Auld

Little, Brown Nut by Mary Auld

Start Small, Think Big is a primary-science picture book series that takes young readers from the small and familiar to new areas of knowledge where they need to think big! Little Brown Nut is about the Brazil nut tree told clearly and carefully to build knowledge about its lifecycle, the Amazon, and the world's rainforests, with a fold-out map.

I really enjoyed that the story follows a nut, a familiar object, all the way through its various journeys and cycle of lifeI haven't seen a non-fiction book like this before and I think [the titles in the Start Small, Think Big series] are really special and a great addition to the bookshelf. I honestly can't wait to share these books with my class and use these across a series of different lessons, from Science and Understanding the World through to English lessons and looking at different text types. I am looking forward to seeing more of these.

With captivating illustrations it’s an immersive journey into the rainforest complimented by insightful captions and perfect for young readers exploring science topics like tree life cycles and rainforest habitats.

-- Scott Evans * The Reader Teacher *

We particularly like learning new vocabulary and that it’s filled with facts about how something as small as a single brazil nut is so interconnected with both its local habitat and the wider world. An interactive non-fiction text that immediately captures children’s interests as well as one that aids learning in topics about rainforests, life cycles and habitats.
