Very Interesting.

It's good to introduce children to the basic knowledge of world in an interesting and funny way. That's the book!

great gift

this made a very nice gift for our very inquisitive nephew. my wife and i especially liked the fact that his mom can read it to him now, but it's so full of information that he'll go back to read it as he grows up.

inviting invention book

I'm using this fabulous book in my 4th grade classroom to kick off a study of inventors. What a great book to hook students into inventions! The fold-out pages are a hit. The book has been picked up by students each day it has been on display in my classroom. This is a good one!
