Review Detail

If there ever was a starting place for learning all the things there are to know in this world, The Big Book of How by Time for Kids is that place.

The Big Book of How is yet another wonderful publication from the long line of quality books from the editors of Time for Kids. Like That’s Awesome, its fraternal twin, The Big Book of How offers its readers tidbits of the world’s most vital, most interesting and most unexpected knowledge. Like how to stay safe in a tornado or a hurricane; how a spider makes its web; how a bridge was built over the Colorado river; and how in the world humans manage to stay upright while surfing on a surfboard.

But that's not all. Readers learn seemingly random stuff that isn’t random at all, like how to make a 3-day survival kit, how to do skateboard tricks like the Ollie and the Butter, and how to find the sweet spot in a baseball bat.

Like its siblings in the Times for Kids family of books, this book has it all; mind-boggling knowledge, mind-blowing attention to details, eye-popping photographs and downright cool subject matter, all wrapped up in an attractive, hard-cover bow.

Whatever your age or profession, you're sure to benefit when you add this book to your growing collection of Time for Kids books.
