I wish these "See Inside..." books had been around when I was little! Yet again, this is a lovely and colourful, fun and informative book that my little boys love.
The contents of this book are as follows:
In the beginning (covers the Big Bang)
Heavenly bodies (lots of information about space, stars and planets)
Life as we know it (different types of creature, DNA, food webs etc)
The smallest things (info about cells, atoms)
The secret behind everything (energy)
Mixed reactions (elements)
Putting things together (amazing contraptions)
See into the future (how scientists are trying to learn more about our world)
As with all the See Inside... books, this book has lots of lovely illustrations that often explain the subject matter quite nicely. There are over 50 flaps to lift up, with further information underneath them - my sons always love peeking under to see what else it's going to show or tell them.
There is loads of information in this book - some of it that I'd say is quite advanced. However, it's all explained in a very child-friendly and fun way and may well ignite further scientific curiousity in your child! I would imagine that it's most suitable for children from age 7 upwards, as there are quite a few tricky words and concepts in there, due to the nature of the subjects covered.
Another good book from the See Inside... guys - we'll be getting more of the series! Recommended!
