DK Canada Books Have That WOW! Factor



I was so excited to open my package from DK Canada.  My daughters love books and when they saw these they both said "Wow!".    They are in love with all of the books.  There was a little bit of something for each of them.  All of these books are getting used daily and  I love that my kids love these books!

Outside in Human Body (Dk Nature)

What's under the skin you're in? Ever wondered, "How do I breathe?", "Where does my food go?", "What goes on inside my brain?" or "Why is my poo brown?" "Outside In Human Body" is an eye-popping, touchy-feely journey into the human body that reveal layer by layer how it works. This is a book of two halves - the first half shows you what goes on in your head, the second half explores the torso. Every page contains a cutaway of a different part of the body, and is full of fun facts, labels and descriptions, making learning about the eyes and ears, or the lungs, kidneys and heart not only interesting, but fun too!

The book Outside in Human Body (Dk Nature) is a huge hit with the girls.  They flip through the book often together, the older reading to the younger one.  <<insert proud momma grin>>  The book is perfect for both of their age groups.  The 10 year old can read it easily and the 4 year old loves the diagrams and pictures of the human body.  You know it is a great book when your kids are constantly asking, "Mom, did you know that....?". 

20TH CENTURY: A Visual History of the Modern World



From global wars to the digital revolution, this visual guide showcases the century that changed everything. Stunning historic photographs, illustrated timelines, artifacts and first person eyewitness accounts capture the drama of history in the making and showcase the most significant events, people and cultural milestones that have shaped our world today.

This is my favorite kind of book.  There are over 1250 photographs in this book.   Seeing history in pictures and quick snippets is fun.  Apparently my mother thinks so too because she saw this book and said "Oooooh!  I am borrowing this one!".  At least I got to give it a quick look over.  I can't wait to get this one back!  Write your name in your DK books people!  They will be borrowed and you will want them back!

DK Canada books definitely have that wow factor.  Not only are they informative and educational, they are beautiful to look at.  Go take a peek for yourself!  I promise you will find something you love.

  7. I love DK books. I usually buy the travel related ones. So much information and hard to put down once you start reading.

    The ones for kids are durable too! We have several and they've gone through 2 kids (1 of which likes to rip out pages from normal paper books! ;))
