General knowledge genius by Peter Chrisp et al.
DK, 2019. ISBN: 9780241336243.
Highly recommended. Themes: General Knowledge; Transport; Science;
Natural world; Geography; History; Culture. This is another
brilliant DK publication! Written as both a collection of
information and also a General knowledge quiz, this will definitely
appeal to young readers who enjoying collecting information and
finding out about the world and challenging themselves in a general
knowledge quiz on each page. (The general knowledge challenge is
even levelled with three levels of difficulty.) Information is
presented with DK's usual clarity and in very small packages of text
of several sentences length, in combination with clear pictures and
headings and excellent graphic design presentation that is colourful
and visually exciting. With an array of topics covered including
Transport, Chemistry, Geology, Living things, Art and History, there
is something to learn on each page. I can imagine that this book
will appeal to the same readers who love picking up a Guinness World
Records book to meander through the snippets of detail. The visual
appeal and the limited text will enable reluctant readers to engage
and enjoy this book as well. This is a great book for the library
shelves or as a gift for a young reader.
Highly recommended.
