1,000 Amazing World Facts

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.

Thanks to DK and Netgalley for this wonderful (and beautiful) eARC!
