DO YOU KNOW?: SPACE AND SKY, by Virginie Loubier, illustrated by Hélène Convert, Roert Barborini, Audrey Brien, Christian Guibbaud and Cristian Turdera, Twirl, Oct. 12, 2021, Hardcover, $16.99 (ages 5-8)
DO YOU KNOW?: VEHICLES AND TRANSPORTATION, by Camille Babeau, illustrated by Benjamin Bécue, Julie Mercier, Mattia Cerato and Cristian Tudera, Twirl, Oct. 12, 2021, Hardcover, $16.99 (ages 5-8)
Do You Know?: Space and Sky and Do You Know?: Vehicles and Transportation are the latest books in the Do You Know series from Twirl books, which provide an in-depth look at a wide range of popular subjects.
At more than 80 pages, the latest two offerings provide basic information through hundreds of labeled, full-color illustrations. Content is bookended by a table of contents and index, making it easy to explore all sorts of interesting topics. Heavy paper and board cover ensure these books will hold up over time. While the more “encyclopedia” setup will help young readers feel more grownup.
Though geared for readers ages 5-8, I know my daughter would have been drawn to these as young as 3 or 4. Bright colors and a wide array of subjects within each book make these a no-brainer.
