About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts asking big questions about the scale of the world around them, from how tall a building can go to how deep the ocean actually is. It is the perfect tool for capturing the attention of a child who feels small in a world that seems impossibly large, helping them channel their natural curiosity into a structured understanding of engineering and nature. This DK reader explores record-breaking machines, natural wonders, and astronomical structures through vivid photography and clear, bite-sized facts. It fosters a sense of wonder and intellectual confidence without being overwhelming. For the 7 to 9 year old reader, it serves as an excellent bridge between picture books and more complex encyclopedias, building vocabulary through high-interest topics like space rockets, blue whales, and massive skyscrapers. It is a choice that rewards a child's desire to know the biggest, fastest, and strongest things on Earth and beyond.
