This fun, photographic board book series supports the 'self care' aspect of EYFS guidance which focuses on fostering a child's growing independence and ability to do things for themselves. The series also features fun, subject-specific learning elements based around counting, colours, shapes, and basic time concepts.

The 'All by myself' series of board books from Wayland, as the name suggests, is designed to nurture young children's 'growing sense of pride and independence' - and it does this very usefully indeed. As well as getting oneself dressed, topics covered in these bright, engaging and interactive board books include personal hygiene and table manners; essentially, the kinds of skills that are not always given as much of a 'star billing' by parents as early literacy and numeracy - but are immeasurably valuable in terms of preparing children for the shift from nursery or pre-school into reception and beyond. With sharp, diverse and inclusive photography, lively rhyming couplets and plenty of supplementary questions, there's plenty to talk about.
