About this title

Synopsis

This book is taken from a series about different fabrics and the items of clothing these materials are used for. The materials include both synthetic and natural fibres. Each book is divided into different spreads exploring stage by stage where materials come from and how clothes are actually made. Every spread is illustrated by specially commissioned photographs showing the materials in their raw stage through to the finished articles, worn by children from the reader's own age-group. The book include some simple tests and games which show us what our own clothes are made of. With its simple text and informative photographs, this book follows the process of how a pair of children's leather shoes are made. Begining with a look at the various animals which give us leather, the book shows how the leather is then cleaned and dyed and sent to the shoe factory. Here the shoes are designed, the leather cut out and then stitched together to form the finished articles. It includes some easy tests that the young reader can try to see whether his or her own shoes are made from leather. The author has also written five book in Wayland's "The Senses" series.

Store Description

We are a family run online bookshop based in Wales at the western edge of the Brecon Beacons National park and have been selling books online since October 2004. I have always had a love of books and it eventually got to the stage where my own book collection began to take over the family home! I reluctantly decided to sell a few of my own books on Amazon and was astonished at how quickly they sold. I was hooked and decided to start buying and selling books as a small part-time business from my spare bedroom. The business rapidly expanded, taking over the spare bedroom and my garage, swiftly followed by a spare bedroom in my mother's house and her garage! I acquired a small industrial unit in February 2007 and took the plunge to go full-time in March 2007, closely followed by my wife in September 2007. In October 2007 we moved in to larger premises and also took on our first members of staff to assist with the ever increasing workload. Our aim is to ensure that the people who buy our books enjoy the same service that we would hope for when purchasing a book ourselves. To that end, we endeavour to give all our books accurate descriptions, price them accordingly and dispatch swiftly and safely. All orders are dispatched within one working day, Monday to Friday. We will endeavour to answer all queries by email within 24 hours.
