Books can be a kid’s best friend if written according to the age of the reader. A book written for a specific age group, loaded with amazing facts and illustrations, is pure gold.

Amazing Facts Every 7-Year-Old Needs to Know is one such book, which is a must for curious kids, since it feeds their growing minds the diet it requires!

The book has fun facts concerning animals, space, the human body and even sports. Kids who have a lot of questions on their minds, and whose parents are clueless about most of these queries need to get their hands on this treasure trove because it’s worth it. Just like the kids’ unlimited imagination, this book has answers to all the peculiar questions in their minds, making life easy for the parents.

If you didn’t know how tall the dinosaur was or how long a crocodile can stay hungry, look no further. The answers to such interesting questions can be found on these pages. After all, who wouldn’t be interested in knowing whether tomato ketchup was always part of the food or can cars play football?

The way some ‘astonishing’ facts regarding certain countries are explained is mind-boggling as well.

I never knew that there are giant statues of koalas, guitars, and bananas in Australia, that Switzerland has a mountain with over a thousand steps, or that rice was used to stick bricks in the Great Wall of China.

The 96-page book has been loaded with facts as well as ‘funny’ illustrations which occasionally seem gross, but in a funny way.

For a generation that has easy access to the internet and animated series like ‘Ben and Holly’ which constantly teach them what their parents learned the hard way, books like these are a blessing. They not only help make them smarter, but also polish their observation skills.

Available for ages between six and nine, the book would be handy in improving the way kids look and think about worldly things. From dinosaurs to ancient Rome, days of Pharaohs to as new as space age, it is as good as time-traveling.

Your friends could be impressed by the newly-attained knowledge, grandparents could be proud to know and the teacher could be surprised if this book is part of your bookshelf.
