hello, please can someone help me. My topics for january are 'where we live' and 'different professions'. I would like to purchase some books on the topics, and am not too sure which ones to buy. Do any of you have any suggestions please.

Ideally i would love a book, depicting all the many different types of 'homes' (houses, flats, igloos, mud huts, etc, etc showing different cultures as well. ), and also a book all about different types of jobs and what we do, and another book about traditional costumes and clothing.

many thanks in advance.
Hermione

Just remembered this site where I have got some good books from in the past

This one actually links both homes and occupations

http://www.kidpremiership.com/around/home.html

There are also some books on this site about children who go to a Childminder - have a look under Tina's Trio

I have a great book about jobs, it's called "Jobs people do" and is written by Christopher Maynard. I've had a look on Amazon and it is there but not in stock http://www.amazon.com/Jobs-People-Do-Amazing-Facts/dp/0751355186
I also have a book called "children just like me" by Barnabas & Anabel Kindersley. This book has children from all around the world, and includes pictures of their different dress, homes, food etc. Well worth buying if you can find it. I was lucky enough to pick it up in a charity shop.:)
