A fun book for kids and adults alike. Lots of interesting facts. Each section is a page or two long and presented in short, graphically enhanced, paragraphs or point form.

Yet another fantastic Dorling Kindersley book, it is crammed full of information about all sorts of topics. It is the sort of book you could just flop open to a page and find out something new. The style is engaging and intended to be smart, with word bubbles and some labels going a little bit off

topic! My favorite is the roller coaster graphic that ends up in a black hole!! It's another reason why the 031 section of the Dewey Decimalized library is becoming a favorite place for my readers. It's the sort of book that's hard to put down, easy to pick up and always fun to read. Show Less

The book is organized like a miscellany, inspired by the internet, styled like a video game, and informed by pop culture. It's filled with fun information about history science, nature, geography and culture-everything kids want and need to know.
