I think Juan Juan would have interest with the activities in this book, I found she absorbs like a black hole if the learning involved interactive activities and experiments!
I normally goggled online for science and physic experiment, it's pretty hard to find books that would make easier for the little ones to understand!;D
Wow, you read this kinda book? good good, then you can share with us some of the facts :P
Wow! Looks like a nice book!
Alice Law,
Yes, this book is more suitable for children equivalent to our Malaysian euducation system from Standards 4 to 6 and maybe up to Forms 1 to 2 as well. The words are not in large print, so definitely it's not suitable for very young children.
Hayley,
I read this book to review this book because that is the 'contract' between myself and the book publisher. Otherwise, I don't normally have time to read a book completely because a lot of my time is taken up by my work alone, plus reading students' theses so that I can give marks to them, and jaga baby and the house, plus catching up on sleep ( I have a lot of sleep debt!).
Prince n princess' mum, yes, it's a nice book, but more suitable for children from about Standards 4 to 6 and maybe Forms 1 and 2.
I don't actually limited Juan Juan and Xuan to children books, I found they have more interests with fully illustrated books(like the one you reviewed) regardless the words font. This is also one of the reason why they are good at general knowledges but not with the school syllabus!!!>_<
Alice Law, since your kids have more interest with books that are fully illustrated regardless of font size, then I guess your kids are exceptional from most kids out there! As for Juan Or, I have shown him the National Geographic magazine before and he seems indifferent. And when I show him children's books, there are some he likes, some he doesn't. Yet I cannot really pin-point what kind of children books he will like and what kind he won't like becos I can't see any obvious trend or pattern underlying his preference (except for books with choo-choo train illustrations or photos!).
