This gift was for the first child of a young teacher! She was so excited that National Geographic has books focused on a child's learning she could hardly believe it. She is looking forward to having their other books for her child.
This book has become a favorite of my 3 1/2 year old. He likes the short explanations and the games at the end of the chapters. Highly recommended for those parents who child constantly ask "why" (incidentally, we also have the book of why for that reason).
The Little Kids First Big Books are fantastic! I have purchased several. There is so much interesting information in them! I have them at my house to read to my grandsons when they visit, but I have had adults just sit and read them and they love them! I have even purchased a few for my father to have at his house when the great-grandchildren are there! He loves them too!
I give this 5 stars because the book really is excellent and my daughter loves it. Also, i congratulate the publisher on formatting the kindle version by showing the original layout (designed for a much larger size than iPad screen), and allowing users to zoom in on each section of text by tapping on it. However, it's still a clumsy interface. Half the time, when I press on the text to enlarge it to a readable size, the page turns instead. Also, the images need a zoom option too. All of this is probably not the fault of the book author or publisher, but the limitations of the kindle format itself. That's why I still give the book 5 stars. But wouldn't it be wonderful if kindle reader had the kind of zoom functionality that the dark horse comic book reader has? (In that app, when you are reading in zoomed in mode, the swipe gesture that would normally turn the page, instead moves the view to the next section of text or images. That's brilliant.)
Great book .. Pics are awesome and questions are great! It's one of those books you sit and read with your child or pick it up open a page and learn something new everyday !
I gave this book to my seven-year-old granddaughter, and she couldn't put it down. She read it aloud to her parents all the way home. National Geographic supplied colorful and interesting photographs. Jill Esbaum is a wizard at making information fun!
Our family loves the entire series! Lots of great photos and interesting facts. Such a great way to pique children's curious minds. Please keep these coming, National Geographic!
I'm so excited about all the books from the National Geographic Kids series! My 7 year old is a very learning oriented kid, and he adores reading. This is the second one I have gotten for him
