Introduction
I'm an encyclopedia, but not as you know it. Big books with facts are boring - I'm not. I'm more like a computer game than a book, crammed with funky pages and cartoons. Forget A-Z, just follow my lead and you'll be amazed where you end up! Was Beethoven a punk? Why is 10 to the power of 100 called a googol? How are smelly feet connected to nuclear weapons? I've got it all covered. Read me in bed, read me on the bus, or even in the loo! Just pick me up - go on. I'm exciting, I'm addictive - I'm unputdownable! Curious? Try me!

Review by: Sonia Nayyar, 26 August 2009
'I tutor children at Primary School and they are always asking questions about the way things work. This book was perfect to answer all the questions and give them further details about things they already have some awareness of. It is set out in a way that looks fun which helps with them sitting down and taking information in, and all the parents have heard about the things they have learnt on the drive home from school. The book is perfect for their age group and is good for them to read themselves, or to have facts read out to them. '
