A World of Information, by James Brown and Richard Platt

Question: Are you stuck on what to buy a curious mind for Christmas?

Answer: ‘A World of Information’

Firstly at just $22  I consider this to be a steal. It is perfectly priced for a school or family Secret Santa. Plus it will take the kid much longer to read than other popular books you can easily buy at the big department stores.

Each page contains information, which is set out in awesome, easy to read and stylish infographics, plus interesting little facts from history about the topic.  If you are buying a gift for a kid who is really into science, numbers, history, basic physics or how things work they are sure to love the selection of information contained in this book. Some examples include The Anatomy of a Bicycle, Impossible Shapes, Roman Numeral, Flight, The Phases of the Moon, and Knots.

Still not sure if this is a book the kid in your life would use or like, consider: is the kid into lego and other construction toys?, do they do scouts?, do they like puzzles, crosswords, wordsearches etc?, do they like taking things apart and putting them back together? If you answered ‘yes’ then this is the right book.

‘A World of Information’ is a book a child will have with them for years to come. It is a fantastic tome with important information any curious 6-12 year old would want.
