Curiosity works best in small daily instalments, which is the premise of this Miles Kelly collection of one fact for every day of the year.
Entries range across history, science, nature, language and the plainly odd, each written in a few lines and complete in itself. The format suits a reader who wants something interesting without committing to a chapter, and the mix of subjects means the book travels well between a classroom starter, a family dinner table and a desk at home.
At a glance:
• A fact for each day of the year across many subject areas
• Entries short enough to read and share in under a minute
• A mix of history, science, nature and unusual trivia
• A browsable structure with no need to read in order
Good company for curious children, families and anyone who likes a daily piece of knowledge, published by Miles Kelly and stocked at Boipoka.
