First How Things Work Encyclopedia: A First Reference Guide for Inquisitive Minds (DK First Reference)

I wanted a sturdy album where pages didn’t tear easily as we were giving it to our grandsons with pics of the summer “Grand Camp” with us. It was a little more expensive but worth it! I read reviews on cheaper albums that didn’t do well. Boys are 7 & 10.

Got this for Christmas gift for my 7 year old. He’s not been deeply interested in sciences or history but if we spend time reading before bed he gets interested and more open to learn different things. Book has a good mix of information computer chips to how eyes work and why bubbles have color. He likes to pick the subject and I can see his excitement at knowing new things.

My daughter couldn’t believe there was actually a book about how things work. She doesn’t want to hear it from me, ever. So she reads this book and then educates ME on how things work. It’s been working out really well for us, hardy har har. She’s definitely smarter than I can handle and this book helps us to relate on her terms. I can’t even believe an 8 ya old can HAVE terms, but what can I say? She’s her own little lady already.

Purchased for an inquisitive 6 year old, always asking why? Or how? He immediately started thumbing through it, eyes wide. Text is simple enough a beginner or steady reader can manage most words especially with the accompanied diagrams but not basic enough to bore a strong reader.

Purchased as a present for my 6 year old nephew, he LOVED it. He was so excited. He wants to know how everything works. It has plenty of colorful pictures also. It arrived on time and in perfect condition.

Bought this for grand children and they love going through it.

Amazing. My 8 year old loves this. He loves facts.

I gave this book as a gift to my niece / nephew. They love it. It has got many pictures to explain the science concept easily to young minds.Highly recommended to all science lovers.

I purchased this for my grandson who devours all kinds of information and he put aside all his other presents in order to read this book. It's well laid out, colourful and full of interesting facts..
