Customer Reviews

Great for ages 4-5 too!

My 4-year-old son Sam has had this book for more than a year, and still enjoys reading it. There are lots of pictures that parents and children can explore together and talk about, and the text is straightforward and clear. I'd like to find more like this!

Excellent Book

This book is very entertaining for children ages 7 to 10. It is detailed, informative, and clever. It uses words that children understand, and the pictures are terrific. If you have a child who wants to know the details of how things are made, this is a great resource. I only wish that George Jones would write more books similar to this one.
