Young people will learn the parts of a flower and how muscles move bones, the name of the fastest fish and the age of the oldest crocodiles, the windiest place on Earth and the very first passengers in a hot-air balloon (a sheep, a duck, and a cockerel). There is something here for almost any interest. The book sheds light on dinosaurs and spiders, computers and the internet, films and cartoons, the ancient Egyptians, knights and castles, China and the United States. Each topic includes attractive illustrations with captions and easy-to-understand, age-specific text. There are intriguing "Did You Know" sections that contain fascinating, little-known observations, "Fast Facts" sections that contain things like the tallest dinosaur or the longest tunnel or the deepest lake, and "Key Dates" boxes that show the development over time of topics like World Religions or Egyptian Civilization. The book also includes a large number of full-color maps and an index that helps kids find information on their favorite topics.
