Easily understood, but still jam-packed with facts.
The images are lovely and big, with very clear accompanying text, and each page also has a small illustration with a 'did you know?' type fact to go with the chapter. The glossary at the back is also great as he can work out the main word, and then go on to tell me all about it which is a fun memory exercise.
This is suitable for children in KS1/5yr+ but my inquisitive 4 year old son has enjoyed going through the book and listening to it as much as his 6 year old sister. The book is internet-linked which provides games and activities linked to each topic. The relevant web address is shown within each topic. There are also links to websites for related animations, games and downloadable pictures which could be used for homework.
