Well - written and illustrated book, though I found some of the illustrations a bit creepy or overwhelming, mostly they enhanced the text. A fun way of approaching the subjects - a kind of "myth-busters" format. I'm going to give it to my niece and nephew (twins) for their 10th birthday soon. The best thing is that the science is right - some science books for kids say some pretty dubious things, but Prof Dawkins is a stickler for proper facts and this book is full of them.
Awesome book for the curious young ( and old ) mind.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
I bought this product not only so I can learn more about the world around us, but so that my younger siblings could too. In that respect, this full colour book has done a fantastic job of introducing and summarasing a plethora of scientific topics, such as how evolution works, how stars began, and how earthquakes happen. Considering its price, I did not expect ~270 pages of beautifully illustrated and well written work, I thought it would be a simple 30-40 page children's book, but I was pleasantly surprised to be wrong. The only problem with this book is that it's a little too complex for young children, and as such would only recommend it for people who are 12 years of age or older.
