The BEST Book out there. Plain and Simple.
This is THE BOOK to get for your travels to Istanbul - or Constantinople to us Greek Orthodox :-) I used this book when I was there five years ago, and let me be frank: it got me around every street, every landmark, every side alleyway, every bus route, every boat ride. The City is covered from head to toe in this book, with tons of useful information about hours of operation of mosques, ...

Rocks & Minerals (Eyewitness Books)

5 reviews
Dorling Kindersley Ltd

Knopf Books for Young Readers, 1988

How did they fit all those rocks between two covers?
Most of the rock-and-mineral books I see are full of colorful pictures of exotic minerals, underground caves or far-away mountains. This is the first book I've come across that actually takes you to those places. The simple, clever mirror device pops those rocks right into your lap, or brings the mountain up close. The information is accurate and well-written. Full color spreads illustrate the ...

Fun photos and flaps!
If your child is a fan of the other My First Word books, this is a definite must have. Featuring the photographs that make the other board books in the series so appealing, this one adds flaps which always manage to capture my toddler's attention. Included in such groups as food and animals, the photos are also used to teach such concepts as tall and short, inside and outside. My only wish is ...

The DK series of eyewitness books are all fabulous, but this has to be my favorite. Dinosaurs are always appealing to children and adults and this book is no disappointment. Superb studio-quality, well lit photographs give you close-up shots of teeth and bones so real, you'll feel like they're right there for you to touch and pick up. Theories on how dinosaurs really looked on the outside and how ...

History made easy and fun, thats what this book is all about. I hated history when I was in school because the textbooks were boring. Now this book is something completely different. For every month of each year since the beginning of the century it has the highlights of the important events that happened that time. It is like reading an article in the newspaper, giving you the feeling of the ...

Sweet and cute book, Surprised no one's reviewed this yet
This is a sweet cute and short book. I'm surprised no one has review this yet. Our 9 month old picks this book out frequently for me to read to him (not as much as the black and white books, or the Sandra Boynton ones). He is slowly getting the idea of touching the cloth pieces that represent the animals on the pages. I think he likes the photos on the white background more than anything. He ...

A really terrific book for any young person wanting to learn about frogs or toads. Great information on types of frogs and thier habits. My nephew loved it and recites all the interesting facts to anyone who will listen. The pictures are actual photos not cartoons or drawing.

Money (Eyewitness Books)

8 reviews
Dorling Kindersley Ltd

Knopf Books for Young Readers, 1990

Great place to start
I have an older version of this book. The latest has added a section on shared currency. The cover on the older version has more exotic coins such as heart cutouts. However any version of this book shows a lot of colorful pictures of script and coin. There are simple descriptions of the making of and measuring of money. If you are a coin collector the descriptions help enhance the collection by ...
