Wel, fantastisch, mijn review is verdwenen. :| GJ Goodreads. :|

Dan maar een korte review: Leuk boek, mooie platen, ik had alleen graag wat ordening gezien (Lichaam, Sterrenkunde, etc.) in plaats van het allemaal door elkaar.

This oversized book (10.70”x14.60”) packs a lot of information covering 30 different topics on two page spreads each. Inside you will find information about things like the Atomic Structure, Music Notation, and The Layout of an Orchestra. For fact-loving kids, this book is a real smorgasbord of food for the brain (and much of it will be talked about at the dinner table, no doubt). Actually, what’s really nice about this book is that it will appeal to adults as much as to children. I found some many of the topics really fascinating, especially finding out about natural phenomena like the Neap & Spring Tides, since my favorite place in the world to be is the seashore. Not only did I get a better understanding of how and why the tides happen, but I even learned some facts about how the tides have affected history (or almost did anyway). Each page has a cream colored background, with a frame and text in one color per page, in a variety of old fashioned flat colors. So if you or your young reader have ever wondered about Time Zones & Tectonic Plates, The Anatomy of a Bicycle, and other interesting things, this is the book for you.

Extraordinary explainer about everything from type to clouds; this is like a book full of beautiful infographics.

A large (in size) informational miscellany covering such things as anatomy, astronomy, math, and the sciences. The illustrations are screen-printed.
