I read a little of this every morning to my kids (9 & 5), they love it! It has nice bright pictures, good information on each page! They look forward to breakfast so I will read it to them. Would recommend!My 9 year old can read this on his own, my 5 year old can read some but needs help with bigger words. That’s why I read it to them. They enjoy it!

Pictures are amazing. It’s the best if the series. This and the one with geology in it could teach everything a kid needs to pass Earth Science. In school.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Info Series for an 8 Year Old

A.J. · April 18, 2025

I read this book every night with my 8 year old. I LOVE this series, but I loved space and ocean more. It may just be my preference, so I still have 5 stars. My son and I are going through every book in the series, and he (and I!) love it. I got National Geographic too, and that didn’t stand a chance against this series. Great photos, easy to read and understand. Chef’s kiss.

Excellent book

W. · April 30, 2025

Love this kind of books. Beautiful pictures, interesting facts. We have several of these and they are read almost daily, interesting for kids and adults alike

Beautifully presented hardback book

R. · November 7, 2024

Very well presented hardback full of lots of information, however, not much detail in any of the descriptions, and the illustrations have a watercolour look to them because the paper has a semi matt finish. It is a shame because the subject matter really lends itself to full colour treatment and a more detailed text would make this a real classic.

Wonderful book
