5.0 out of 5 stars Wow - brilliant book!, 29 Sep 2008
By E. Roughton - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This really is an amazing book. Loads of information displayed in such an eye-catching interesting way, amazing attention to detail - my 9-year-old who says he "doesn't like reading" can hardly put it down and has had several later-than-usual nights because we're so busy looking through the book together; I have really enjoyed it looking at with him. If you want your child to be encouraged to enjoy learning I'd thoroughly recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful book, 17 Dec 2008
By Papillon (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
A lovely book for any child from 1 upwards! As you'd expect from DK the layout, photos and diagrams are top notch and guarenteed to appeal to a child's curiosity. My 1+ year old constantly asks to sit on my knee and leaf through this - he even requests we turn immediately now to certain pages where he can name all the animals etc. He's a bit young for the text as yet but I can see that as he learns to read this will be a book he can return to again and again.

One of the most interesting sections is the Appendix of "Fascinating" bite-sized facts about the world and space - I was hooked on this myself even though he's too young to read this yet.

Unfortunately its a bit ripped here and there where he's been too eager to turn the pages but the book is so good I may purchase it again once he's through the rough stage!
