Book Review: Britannica First Big Book Of Why

Do you have a little one with more questions than you have answers? This is the book for you and the perfect Christmas present for them.

Britannica First Big Book of Why is big, bright and bold using a fantastic mix of photographs, graphics, illustrations and coloured text boxes to inspire and satisfy curious little questioneers and encourage children to think more about the world around them and talk about it with other small people and their grown ups. This book is filled with questions and answers, with wacky facts and quiz games. With a fabulously colourful contents page, index and glossary this is a great introduction for littlest readers to the feature of a non fiction book and how to use them.

This brilliant book, striking in design, would sit perfectly on a classroom shelf or on a coffee table at home.

The book is divided into eight sections

Minibeasts
Pets
Wild Animals
The Body
Food
How Stuff Works
Earth and
Space

We love leafing through the pages and reading the curious questions, there are some amazing photographs and some super cute animals in the book. There is really something for everyone to discover.

Why do snails have shells?
Why are hamsters so noisy at night?
Why do owls have big eyes?
Why does music make me want to dance?
Why are some cheeses stinky?
Why don’t skyscrapers fall over?
Why do rainbows appear after a storm?

I would have loved this book as a child! As a parent and educator I think this is a rich resource for curious little explorers and their grown ups to share and would make a gorgeous gift this Christmas.

Adventure awaits! Stay curious!

We were sent a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review
