A great book. It has fantastic photos and drawings. There were so many facts that I didn't know so that was very fun.
I really like how for some things like caves it shows how many of something we see every day would fit in there. That gives us a better idea of just how much that is. This would be great for any kids you know.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the arc.

My son absolutely loved this book. He is really into learning new facts right now. He and I both kept saying wow over and over. I had no idea about many of these facts. They are truly amazing to learn and think about. We especially enjoyed the facts about nature- the waterfalls, the mountains, rivers, etc. The book is full of beautiful and engaging photos and illustrations too. This would make a great gift for any fact obsessed kiddo.

.
"1,000 Amazing World Facts" by DK is a treasure trove of the extraordinary and the unbelievable. This book is a testament to the wonders of our world and beyond, capturing the imagination with every turn of the page. Aimed at young readers aged "9 to 12 years" , it's a visual feast that educates and delights those of ANY age.

The book spans a generous "176 pages" , each one packed with vibrant images and eye-catching graphics that bring the facts to life. The layout is intuitive and engaging, making it easy for readers to dip in and out of topics that pique their interest. From the vastness of space to the intricacies of the natural world, no stone is left unturned in this comprehensive collection of facts.

One of the book's strengths is its ability to contextualize information in a way that resonates with the reader. For instance, comparing the size of the Moon to Australia or illustrating the enormity of Jupiter in relation to Earth provides a tangible sense of scale that is often missing from statistical data. The book doesn't shy away from the quirky and the curious either—did you know that the blue whale's heart is as big as a car, or that the colossal squid has eyes the size of beach balls?

What sets "1,000 Amazing World Facts" apart is its commitment to sparking curiosity. It doesn't just present facts; it invites readers to question, explore, and discover more about the world around them. This is a book that encourages critical thinking and a thirst for knowledge, making it a valuable addition to any young reader's library.

In conclusion, "1,000 Amazing World Facts" is a delightful and informative read that deserves a spot on every young explorer's bookshelf.
