The Treasure Hunt: We Love to Talk!

The Treasure Hunt invites children to go on an adventure with a group of mini-bugs to find a box of exciting playthings and hunt for a bug hotel. Using pinecones and leaves that they find on the way, they make the bug hotel into a home before celebrating with a song.

This beautifully illustrated storybook is designed to engage young children through a rich cast of characters and a playful narrative, while sharing essential positional words, including ‘inside’ and ‘under’. The book employs a rotation scheme and repeatable actions, which are innately attractive to young children; and the concluding song is accompanied by professional music, available on the companion website. On each page, a tiny hidden fantasy mini-bug can also be found, which practitioners can encourage children to identify and describe.

This storybook can be used effectively alongside companion storybook The Mud Cakes and the accompanying guide, Little Brains Love to Talk. It is an ideal resource for educators, speech and language therapists and other practitioners working with young children, as well as for parents looking to support their child’s language skills.
