A great hardback fiction book for the classroom, focusing on the science of tides, with a touch of working things out, linked together through bedtime and sleep. This book explains how the moon affects the tides around the world, with some humour added in, look out for the crab! The illustrations are bold, and clear and the vocabulary is scientific as well as easy to understand for young learners. This book would a fantastic edition to a Reception or Year 1 class library to be used in science-based lessons on gravity, the moon and oceans. The story also touches on conflict and would work well for a circle time activity on working things out together. It could also lead on to discussions about bedtime and help children understand how important sleep is, even in the natural world.
