6000 Amazing Facts

Oceans, dinosaurs, insects, wild animals and the planets are the territory of this Miles Kelly compendium, which runs to six thousand entries. Facts are kept short and arranged into clearly marked sections, so a reader can follow one interest at length or wander between them. Photographs, diagrams and cutaway illustrations do a good deal of the explaining, which helps when the subject is something like ocean depth or insect anatomy that resists description in a single sentence. A summary of the contents: • Sections covering space, Earth, oceans, dinosaurs, insects and animals • Bite-sized entries printed in a clear, uncrowded layout • Colour photography and diagrams supporting the written facts • Organised so a reader can jump to a chosen subject directly Suitable for young learners, school projects and any household where general knowledge questions come up often, from the publisher Miles Kelly. Available through the Boipoka catalogue.
