First Big Book of How Things Work: The Hidden Workings of Animals, Machines, the Body, Nature, Space, and More!

FIRST BIG BOOK OF HOW is a delightfully educational book that teaches about all sorts of topics. As stated in the title, this is a very large book that covers all kinds of topics from how the body works (such as eyesight and hearing) to outer space and more.

What I loved: This is a very fun non-fiction book that makes learning so much fun. The book includes approachable text with plenty of color, photographs, and illustrations to teach kids about so many topics. Even though I could see how large this book is, I was still shocked by how many topics and pages there are - there's a bit of everything! This will work well for young elementary school aged readers who love to know about everything and enjoy looking at images. The approachable text and breadth of topics will make this work well for a variety of curious readers.

Final verdict: FIRST BIG BOOK OF HOW is an educational and entertaining book for children who love to know how things work! With a wide breadth of topics and fantastic photographs and illustrations, there's a little something for everyone's curiosity!

FIRST BIG BOOK OF HOW THINGS WORK is packed with all kinds of information that will feed curious minds. The pictures and formatting of the book are vibrant and engaging, working together to keep children intrigued. It is divided into six sections: The Body, Machines and Buildings, Wild Animals, Bugs & Creepy Crawlers, Earth and Space. The illustrations are a mash up of real photos and cute drawings.

My daughter absolutely loved the axolotl section and how cute they were. I don't have enough words to describe everything contained in this book. It's a great educational tool for children who always wonder how things work. I think the animal section was my favorite too, but it's always interesting learning about the body, like how we see, how hair grows, etc. This compilation includes topics children might not even think to ask about, but will enjoy learning about them. "Big book" is an understatement because the pages are packed with information.


Final Verdict: I would recommend this to children aged six and older who enjoy learning about science and how the world around us works. The amount of information is endless and written in a way that's easy for children to follow along and understand.
