Since I'm already familiar with Norse mythology, this book wasn't super impressive to me personally. However, it would be effective for its intended purpose--introducing Norse mythology to a younger audience--and it was an easy refresher on myths I'd forgotten about.

Excellent beginner's guide to political concepts. Attractively laid out, well organised with a nice progression through ideas that are presented with clarity and simplicity. Encourages the reader to be involved A great introduction. Good for upper primary, intermediate and lower secondary schools.

Given the peculiar storm of outrage surrounding this book, I actually bought a copy, and have read through it. I can testify that the book is a completely, earnestly, anodyne production that does its best to orient boys to puberty in an age-appropriate manner. It does a pretty good job of it, though of course any parent would probably want to take a look at it before passing it on to a boy, just to confirm that it was in accord with that family's attitudes.

However, I can also testify that most of the people who have written negative reviews, here and elsewhere, display a shameless lack of integrity, energetically bearing false witness about something they have not even read, claiming as justification one sentence on one page, which they have passed around in utter isolation from the rest of the book, of which they have demonstrably no knowledge whatsoever. You can see that very few of the negative reviews some from people who have bought the book, and none of them address the 12-word sentence in context, nor the book as a whole. This utterly contemptible behavior is, unfortunately, all too common.

Even more unfortunately, the publishers seem to have demonstrated a complete inability to stand up to the bullying of liars and fools, and have pulped every copy they could. No doubt this was a purely commercial decision, reacting to the threat of a spoiled brand. A more honorable course might have been to defend the work and the author. If this decision caused the rights to revert to the author, he might consider putting the text up in PDF form for everyone to see; if it was work for hire, and the rights remain with the publisher, they might themselves consider doing so.

This book is full of fun science facts that kids 2nd grade and up would enjoy! It might not make the best read aloud book, but if kids are interested in science (who isn't), this would be a great book to refer them too. It classifies things by categories - cars, animals, weather, etc. - for easy access for kids. It could be used as an introductory book leading into a more detailed book on a certain topic, or kids could use it to help their research process for a project.

I purchased this small (literally, it's this miniature little square shape) book for my girls, spurred on by remembrances of my childhood days and long trips in the car. I frequently drove with my parents on multiple day trips, and my favorite way to pass the time was with books of all kinds. This book is a collection of puzzles and trivia games, intended for children - the type of thing I would have eagerly snatched up myself. The puzzles are as advertised, basic trivia or logic problems that will pose a challenge for children, particularly in the elementary range. They can do word searches, find the differences in two pictures, decipher basic logic problems, complete simplified sudoku puzzles (with pictures instead of numbers and only four in a box), find hidden pictures (ala Where's Waldo), and more. I perused the whole book, and some of the conundrums looked uninteresting to me, while others appeared quite entertaining. The art is cartoony and fun, not what I would call beautiful, but it certainly fits the mold of what is stereotypically considered children's art. The puzzles are a little too difficult for my girls, but when they are older I look forward to working through these with them.

Zientzia mundua aztertzeko modua da, nola funtzionatzen duen jakiteko.

Liburu interesgarri honi esker, gaztetxoek zientziaren mundu liluragarrian murgiltzeko aukera izango dute; Zer da Unibertsoa? Zenbat bihotz dituzte olagarroek? Nola laguntzen diete narbalek ozeanografoei? Zergatik da ezaguna Marie Curie zientzialaria? Eta Einstein? Zein da gogorragoa, altzairuzko haria ala armiarma-zeta? Zertarako erabiltzen da elektrizitate estatikoa?... Ezagutza liburu honek galdera horiei guztiei erantzuten die. Argibide zehatzek eta koloretako irudi ikusgarriek osatzen dute liburua.

A nonfiction book about submarines, It explains all about how the submarines work, like the escape hatch. It also has a record of multiple submarines, and certian objects like submarines.
I liked this because it helps you understand how the submarines work. It also helps explain what submarine did that famous thing.½

Written for boys, this book explains in detail what happens to the male body as it reaches and continues through puberty. The facts are presented in short, easy to read chapters in a straightforward manner, mostly steering away from slang words for body parts and functions. The cartoonish illustrations at times present a humorous look at body odor, squeaky voices, and acne; at other times, the illustrations are used to explain in detail the reproductive parts of the body and the changes that will occur. Though this requires anatomically correct illustrations, the information tastefully focuses on accurate presentation. The book also includes a chapter on girls and briefly but explicitly describes the differences in their bodies and how puberty occurs for females. Some parents may find these topics and illustrations uncomfortable, so it may be best for the parent to read the book first so that an educated decision can be made. With this in mind, this book may not be suitable for a school library but would be an appropriate addition to a public library collection.

Since buying this book, my 5-yr-old son doesn't want to watch TV before going to school; he wants to 'play' (his words) with his maths book instead.

It tells you all about forensics wich I like.

How are plants and animals related? What is the universe made of? And just what is the big secret behind it all? The latest title in the See Inside series from Usborne is packed with detailed illustrations and over 50 interactive flaps that lift to reveal amazing facts that bring the world of science to life. Ideal for primary school children who want to know more about how the world works.
