Great new and fascinating facts and presentation
Format: Hardcover
This is part of my gifts for my 9 year old grandson. He has a real skill in remembering things and loves to share unusual facts! I am sure this is high quality pack of 3 books will keep him reading, and in a very short time! He'll also be sharing excitedly with the whole household! I'm sure others in the household will be picking it up as well. ... show more

So Interesting!!!
Format: Hardcover
I got these for my girl because she loves to read, but is short on books right now. She read them a little and then told me that she loved them and they were so interesting. I ended up reading them a little bit too, and I like them as well. I definitely recommend these for your bookworm children.

Great books!
Format: Hardcover
This is a great book set. I bought these for my 92 year old mom and she reads them all the time. The facts are amusing and pictures are great. I even enjoy reading them. This would be great for kids. I bought them after seeing where a person posted pictures of the inside. They should have a “read sample” that would increase the sales of this book set. ... show more

Great books for little science fans!
Format: Hardcover
My 4 year old loves the Weird But True show in Disney+, so I bought these books for Christmas. He loves reading the facts with me, and it even came with a cute fact-filled poster that we hung in his room. 👍

Fun and interesting but...
