encyclopedic knowledge
From Disney/Hyperion comes DISNEY JUNIOR: FUN FACTS TO UNDERSTAND OUR WORLD, a terrific browsing book with chapters that highlight the planets, animals, bodies of water, nature, and more. Each fact (and there may be from 5-10 facts per double page spread) is a few sentences long with just enough detail to set kids asking questions for more information. This is a good starting point for young readers. follow up with other encyclopedic books such as DK's FIRST ENCYCLOPEDIA or CAN IT RAIN CATS AND DOGS? <55>
