I bought this for my first-grade son, who reads well but does not enjoy stories. This book is well laid out, full of engaging pictures, and of course a wealth of information. He loves it, and it leads to lots of interesting questions and conversations. Well worth the price.

This book is so good that I am going through it as an adult wanting to review all the basics once again. I think it is a must have for every home with kids. I am buying 2 more copies to give as birthday present. I think it is suitable for any kids above the age of 8.

I'm a sucker for having reference books at my house. I know it's easy to look info up on the internet, but I like to have books to quickly look things up in. I'm a future teacher and I thought this would be a good book to have in the classroom, but I like it so much that I'm going to keep it for myself. The illustrations are wonderful and the information is useful. It covers a wide variety of topics; it doesn't go terribly in-depth but gives a nice general bit of information when you just want quick background knowledge about something.

Great price for this great quality book. Tons of educational info in it that kids love to read and learn about. Great pictures to go with the reading as well.

We bought this for our 5 year old grandson and he is thrilled with it.

I was really excited when I saw this. I flipped through it with the intent to buy it, but was disgusted by the first line... "The universe was born in a Big Bang about 13.7 billion years ago." It's the Big Bang THEORY. A reputable publishing company should not treat theories like they are facts.
