1,000 facts kids want to know

The book I read was called Big Book Of Why. It told you many answers to questions you might not know the answer to. It was in all the categories. There was about 15 groups and they all had stuff I never knew until they told me the answer to the question. One of the things I learned was why the Vikings gave new York its name. Well they put the Danish word York was a city in England and then they named the York from a Danish word called Jordivik That was only one of the facts.

I personally enjoyed this book. I like how it had so many facts and the facts just kept coming. A person who like learning will like this book. You also have to like reading and you'll like this book. I gave it 3 stars because I thought some of the facts were boring. I enjoyed the book a lot. I recommend it to you. ( )

I like this book for two reasons. First, I really like the incorporation of images and color. Each set of pages in this book incorporates about three to six images and includes a multitude of colors. This is great for keeping kids attention. Some of the facts they include in the book may be a little difficult for young readers to understand without assistance. These images provide that help by showing an image that directly correlates with the fact. The varying colors shown on each page I feel gives a very youthful and friendly feel to the book that is also appealing to young readers as it makes it feel much less intimidating. I also like how the facts are broken up. All of the facts are broken up in small paragraphs that kids can easily follow, and the main idea of the paragraph is in bold, large font, easily showing what the fact is. The main idea of this book is providing facts about animals, Earth, Space, Humans, People, Places, History, Science, and Technology. Overall I like this as an informational book. It's simply broken up, and the coloring can make it appealing to young readers. ( )

Why do we have eyebrows? What’s a black hole? How fast can a human run? Time for Kids answers all these questions and more.

Too many characters and I didn't really like the descriptions used for the female character but this did make me laugh out loud in places. ( )
