Taken from a series which introduces very young children to the five senses, this book deals with hearing. Using simple text it describes some of the different sounds which exist, from the sound of ringing bells to echoes in the mountain. The author is presently the Headteacher of a large primary school at Crickhowell in Powys. She has taught, during her experience, every age group in the primary sector. She has made a speciality of the implementation of the linguistic and literary aspects of the curriculum for Lower Juniors and, as a member of the County Steering Committee, she is responsible for co-ordinating the in-service training of teachers.
