A very important part of publishing the Bert & Betty books is to offer a "child friendly" view of the canals and their history, to inspire children to learn about them – and, hopefully, to visit them.

Children love looking up waterways words in the picture dictionary (as shown in the photo on the right) and so, in addition to the books, there is now an A4 Quiz Sheet available to make this activity even more fun (see sample question below).

The sheets are just £2 for 20 (black and white) or £12 for 20 (colour), plus postage (at cost) from our shop. 

Your class is bound to enjoy the pages of "Bert & Betty" stories and "Boat Babies" poems, puzzles, quizzes and colouring-in pictures that appear in "Canals & Rivers" magazine every month.
