Editorial Reviews

Review

"In short, this book is everything you always wanted to know about . . . well, everything, and then some.

The text is written with a lively vocabulary that pushes teens and tweens to expand their minds and challenge their reading levels. This is definitely one for the science, reading, art, or language classroom." – New York Journal of Books

Grandson likes to read; he and Grandpa have been reading this together. Some of the words may be a little challenging, but our grandson is not afraid of a challenge, and he likes to learn new things.

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting and keeps my daughter's attention
Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2022

Content is a bit dated. Definitely feeds my daughter's curiosity. The book's binding isn't good - I feel like it's going to fall apart any day now.

I've got a computer science degree and I was disappointed that there is no reference to Alan Turing.

The content seems to make sense to my 8 year old so that's good. It seems like a good depth of knowledge for someone her age. She'll ask me a question and I answer only to find out the book answers it a sentence or two later.

The book is nice but a little too advanced for my son to read in his own. To return this book, it would cost almost $14. Be advised before you purchase!

Purchased this book for my husband who has Alzeihmer's. It is a quality book with many interesting topics. It has vivid colored pictures. I read to him but with the short intersting topics it keeps his attention.
It would make a great book for all, including kids!
