This book is quite speculator! Within this amazing book there are hundreds photos of some of the coolest things to grab our attention. In addition to all the fabulous photos, there are facts and tidbits galore. While you peruse the book you can look through the chapters and read things that interest you the most. The chapters are: Sports, Animals, Buildings, Science, Transportation, Home Tech, Technology, Space, The Human Body, You And Your World, and Just For Fun. When this book arrived my son was instantly reading it bouncing from topic to topic...all I heard was "Did you know that...." followed by some amazing factoids and "Wow, look at this..." followed by me looking at some crazy cool things. These are the type of books that capture the attention of young readers because they have amazing vibrant photos with fun facts, projects, puzzles and extras. I love that I can trust that my child will be learning interesting and important facts and that their attention will be captured over the winter with this book. Every time you open it up you read you learn something new. This will be a staple read for my boys over the cold winter months! 5 stars

PS ~This would make a great Christmas gift!!!

This guide has snakes, lizards, sharks, butterflies and how to care for a pet, but if you want to know how they move the answers are inside these pages. The Egyptian pyramids were built over 4000 years ago but it took a lot of skill and effort to accomplish these great skyscrapers. Mount Rushmore was sculpted by Gutzon Borglum in 1927 and was completed in 1941. Every year between 15,000 and 30,000 icebergs break off from glaciers in Greenland and the North Atlantic. There are six different layers of the sun. If you’d like to know how it stays hot, there is lots of information in this guide for readers to discover the answer.

This Big Book of How has been revised and updated with 500 new facts for readers to enjoy along with fantastic photos and diagrams too. Although this guide was intended for kids, adults will love it too. There are chapters covering animals, sports, buildings, science, transportation, technology and more. At the end of each chapter there are activities, one in particular shows readers how to make a balloon animal. There is also a glossary and more resources to keep readers learning and growing.
