Inspirational and educational both, this entire series is great, and full of delightful art to engage younger audiences! In 1985, David Attenborough was knighted for his service to television broadcasting and conservation. The building of Leicester University where he grew up does not look a million miles from the one in the illustration here, and when he's on his own private field trips to dig up fossils and discover the world around him he's clearly in a version of Bradgate Park, which both he and I know well.

When he was old enough to go to university, he studied science and zoology – but what he wanted most of all was to be close to the animals he was studying. Test their knowledge after some of our other fun David Attenborough activities and see how much they have learnt. The touch and sounds within the environment, the chance to meet and understand animals in their own environment. As a naturalist he's always been interested in animals in their natural habitat and nowadays he fights for the preservations of such places.Told as a story, with a facts and photos section at the back, this sweet series for kids celebrates triumph over adversity through some of history’s favorite characters. Either way, we’re here to help children learn more about this brilliant broadcaster with our David Attenborough Interview Worksheet. Little Norma Jeane grew up between foster homes, an orphanage, and a family friend’s house – where she was forbidden from watching movies. I guess the fact it was about someone I've actually met for once kind of biased me towards it, though… Three and a half stars.
