For my 8-yr-old, fact obsessed, recently graduated to chapter books nephew, we’ve got Highest Mountain, Smallest Star, by Kate Baker, ill by Page Tsou. With its historical scientific illustrations vibe & it’s plethora of facts, I admit it took me longest to wrap this one up, because I just kept turning the page and reading more and more interesting things. I particularly enjoyed the timeline pages, like these, which compared all of known history to a calendar year, and showed how literally the last second of New Year’s Eve is when most of mankind’s greatest achievements would’ve occurred, but also, every page is just chock full of A+ illustrations.
