5,000 Awesome Facts (About Everything!) (National Geographic Kids): Book Review

This is my go to gift for children's birthdays. Kids get so many toys and clothes that I always like to try something a bit different. The pictures are colorful and the facts are very interesting and straight forward. I usually buy this for kids 7 and up. That's seems to be a good age fir the reading level.
I had a mom thank me for the gift a few weeks after giving it because she said that the book made her boy excited to read!

My 10 year old son loves this book and all the fun facts in it. There are things about food, animals, history, survival skills, math, human body, robots etc. He loves learning about how things work and why they do what they do and this book covers all that. It is a nice big hardback book and I am impressed at the quality and the price. Very glad I got him this.

Our office participates in buying gifts for abused children placed in a temporary home. The boy was interested in weird science facts so I purchased a few of these types of books. Of course, when I got them, I had to flip through. :)

This book was so much fun. I thought that it would actually be perfect to get for my dad because he is a trivia buff. Excellent book for old and young alike!!! Would definitely purchase again.
