It makes them ask questions to which you can explain the answers.
Few excerpts:

- davidw 12y agoThose look like they are entertaining for adults, not children. I too have kids, 6 and almost 3, and recommendations for good science oriented kids books are always welcome.
- pling 12y agoBoth adults and children. 8+ is a good age (mine are 2, 8, 10) for that one though. Usborne do a good like of younger books: http://www.usborne.com/catalogue/science.aspx?cat=1&area=S&subcat= http://www.usborne.com/catalogue/science.aspx?cat=1&area=S&s...
- facepalm 12y agoI already have "The Magic Of Reality" by Richard Dawkins: http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/1451675046/fractality-20 http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/1451675046/fractality-... . I think the content would be what I am looking for, but unfortunately the artwork and layout is too overblown, making it hard to read. My kid is 3 - obviously the text would be too complicated anyway, but it would be nice to at least have some nice, clear pictures to talk about. It has some good ideas, though - for example it shows a stack of photographs of our ancestors, one photograph for every ancestor, and talks about the height of that stack. Nice idea, but horrible graphics imo (artistically good graphics, but not so well suited as illustration).
