OK I know these are supposed to be kid books but they are awesome! Great pictures and just enough text to make you want to learn more. Great choices for a beginning history reader or to start an older reader out in a new area. Every time I pick one of these up and read it I learn new things. Highly Recommended

This book is very fascinating. In pages 6-11 I learned how early humans and caveman used tools such as bronze axes to chop wood. They also made farming tools for agriculture and how they made the wheel which is crucial for transportation. In page 9 I learned how they made tools for screwing nails into place.

Libro maravilloso sobre un grupo bastante representativo de inventos en el rico e inteligible estilo visual a que nos tiene acostumbrado Dorling-Kindersley...
