Fact Book Ideas

DNiece(13) & DNephew (10) love a fact book and have asked for another from us again this year. I'm looking for new ideas what to get.

Previously we've had Guinness Book of Records, Adam Kay, Animal Facts. What else could I try?

Thanks

Ripley's Believe it or not.

And National Geographic Fact books, I have bought those too.

I'm looking for something more like the Adam Kay books this time. They already have his new one.

The Uncle John's bathroom readers? There's a ton of those. And they're great. Although US centric.

I've not bought Ripley's as DB & DSIL aren't fans - too circus sideshow.

I will look into the others though. Thanks for your help.

My granddaughter loves her big science encyclopedia. As she is not yet 7 we read it with her at present.

What about something a little different like a "Would You Rather Book" that is kind of
jokes and game scenarios to get them thinking? amzn.to/3q6ccS1

My son loves fact books and the Ripley's Believe it or Not ones are always a hit with him amzn.to/3GTYjNs

The other books my son loves are the See Inside Books. They're really nicely illustrated with loads of little flaps inside to make it interactive. They're filled with facts and theres loads of them. My son probably have 5-6 of them amzn.to/3e6R0Wm

Science textbooks
Books on wildlife and the like

There’s the history of the world in 1000 objects. Or I’m sure i saw a sort of potted history book in Asda recently that was like the whole of history from the beginning of time in one book.

National Geographic Weird but True. If you want to spend the money a subscription to a science magazine.
