About This Book
A parent should reach for this book when their child's 'why?' phase has blossomed into an insatiable appetite for facts and information. ExtraOrdinary is a visual encyclopedia from DK Publishing, packed with questions, answers, lists, and trivia on topics from dinosaurs and space to history and technology. It's not a story but a browsable treasure trove that nurtures curiosity and wonder. As children master new information, they build self-confidence in their knowledge. For ages 8 to 12, it is a perfect screen-free way to encourage independent learning and satisfy a child's hunger for understanding how the world works.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
As a broad nonfiction work, the book touches upon topics like death and violence (e.g., dinosaur extinction, historical wars, natural disasters, animal predators) in a factual, scientific, and historical context. The approach is entirely secular and matter-of-fact. It focuses on the 'how' and 'why' of events, not the emotional impact, and presents information without graphic detail.
