  • Great new and fascinating facts and presentation
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!!!
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!
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

  • Fun books
The reading level is higher than what my first grader can read independently, but she still spends hours with these books because of the amazing photographs and layouts. She will flip to pages where she can read all the words. These are some of her favorite non-fiction books.

  • 11 year old likes it
My 11-year old nephew liked it but he wanted more pictures. He is dyslexic, and I'm trying to encourage him to use the methods he's learning in school to overcome the reading difficulties, but he is a diehard picture book fan. He is a fan of knowing things that others don't though, so these books are proving helpful in getting him to read. ... show more
