Books like TIME For Kids The BIG Book of Why: Answers to the 1001 Most Asked Questions

We've got something just a little bit different today. I was approached about taking a look at BIG BOOK OF WHY: ANSWERS TO THE 1001 MOST ASKED QUESTIONS by Time for Kids. Now, normally I tend to look at books with a story that appeal to YA or older readers, but I just couldn't pass this up. It looked like something my daughter might be interested in, so I figured I'd use her to test drive it.Verdict: She loves it.The best thing about THE BIG BOOK OF WHY is that it is jam packed with facts and trivia that kept my kid entertained for hours. In fact, I'm not entirely sure she's made her way through the entire book yet although she picks it up any chance she gets. Story books are great for her, but there are times when I think she really just wants something she can sit down with for a while and peruse. THE BIG BOOK OF WHY fills this role perfectly. This definitely is not a book I would recommend for extended reading sessions as there is no clear story for young minds to follow. However, little readers looking for some light reading and something to flip through should find something of interest here.My daughter's favorite aspect of THE BIG BOOK OF WHY is definitely the pictures. Luckily, although robust with information and facts, this book comes complete with a wide assortment of illustrations. You only have to look as far as the cover to see how colorful the book is. I'm pretty sure that there is an image for just about every bit of trivia in the book.If you're looking for an entertaining book for kids - this is it. Full of knowledge and guaranteed to entertain for hours, this is a great rest-time or road trip book. Also, don't tell, but this book is fairly entertaining for adults as well.
