Miss Andrea recommends DK Picturepedia
This is an amazing visual reference guide for everyone from ages 6 to 106! Each section explores a vast range of topics from sports and hobbies, to animals, to space exploration, and history all the way from cave men to today. All pages have beautiful full-color illustrations and photos with facts written throughout. Kids and adults can spend hours poring over this engaging title. I might even buy this one to keep at home!
