Thoughts

I’ve been dipping in and out of some of the Dorling Kindersley books that are aimed at kids, and although this one is a beginner’s guide to science, I really think it’s aimed at anyone who wants to kick start their knowledge at any age. It has the great illustrations and picture layouts that you expect from DK, and structures the subject into sensible areas - what makes up the earth, chemicals, nature, space, and more. Highly recommended, and I notice there’s a similar book on space that I’m going to have to check out next.
