Lillicorn Leerzame avonturen in WooWoo Land
by Lisa Moss, Dr. Thomas Bernard, Rikky Schrever, Ayelen Lamas, Bram Hartman
Description
The Adventures of Lillicorn series is designed to introduce little engineers and budding computer scientists to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) skills such as structured problem solving, creative thinking, pattern recognition and coding within a playful, imaginative and interactive way.
Featuring a young curious heroine, who has a passion for science and coding, and loves to find creative solutions on her many quests. The story inspires 4 to 8-year-old children to be adventurous and explore faraway places, and encourages them to use their scientific ‘brain smarts,’ to solve a series of fun STEM educational activities.
Meet Lilli, a fearless little girl, who loves to conceive new experiments and inventions. In her dreams at night, she transforms into Lillicorn, a superhero, where she teams up with friends, including the reader, to travel to distant lands, and figure out innovative solutions that save the day! The rhyming story books are designed so that children can solve ten different STEM quests and earn charm tokens (provided in the book). It’s an exciting way for children to learn fundamental STEM skills (e.g. abstraction, coding, pattern recognition, etc.) at an early age, as well as develop 21st century learning skills (the 4Cs – critical thinking, collaboration, creativity and communication).
De Avonturen van Lillicorn wil de volgende generatie leiders in STEM-vaardigheden (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) inspireren door een jonge nieuwsgierige heldin met een passie voor wetenschap en die graag creatieve oplossingen zoekt voor haar vele speurtochten. Het verhaal inspireert kinderen van 4 tot 8 jaar om op avontuur te gaan en verre streken te verkennen, en moedigt hen aan om hun 'wetenschappelijke intelligentie' te gebruiken om een reeks leuke, leerzame STEM-activiteiten op te lossen.
Maak kennis met Lilli, een onverschrokken klein meisje, dat geïntrigeerd is door de wetenschap en graag nieuwe experimenten en uitvindingen bedenkt. 's Nachts in haar dromen verandert ze in Lillicorn, een superheld, waar ze samen met vriendjes, inclusief de lezer, naar verre landen reist en innovatieve oplossingen bedenkt om de boel te redden! Het rijmende verhalenboek is zo ontworpen dat kinderen tien verschillende STEM-opdrachten kunnen oplossen en fiches kunnen verdienen (in het boek). Het is een stimulerende manier voor kinderen om al op jonge leeftijd fundamentele STEM-vaardigheden en onderzoekend leren te leren (bijv. abstractie, ruimtelijke perceptie, patroonherkenning, enz.) en om leervaardigheden geschikt voor de 21ste eeuw te ontwikkelen (de 4 belangrijkste - kritisch denken, samenwerking, creativiteit en communicatie).

If you are looking for a way to engage young children with STEM activities this is the perfect way in!
- Lucy Newton, primary school teacher, Reading Zone
My daughters love reading and they love puzzles, so combining the two in the book is amazing! The bright colours and fun activities keep them so engaged. It is so nice to see them working together to figure it out.
- Amy Cooper, Everything Mummy blog and mom of Maisy (9), Bella (7) and Lottie (5).
I felt the children were really enjoying Lillicorn without recognizing that they were learning or practising mathematical and scientific skills.
- Librarian, Chestnuts Primary School London
This is such a refreshing book! We need more books like this to encourage girls and show them that stem subjects are not just for boys.
- Laura Summers, Laura's Lovely Blog
The Adventures of Lillicorn is the perfect way to prevent that summer slump from school. You are building their confidence, encouraging creativity and promoting problem solving in a way that’s approachable and comfortable… through play!
