The DK Eyewitness book series has won many awards over the years, including A Parent’s Choice Award. This series of nonfiction books is great for children who are eager to learn.
These books have plenty of photographs and illustrations which are set against a white background. The illustrations and photos are usually full-colored with lots of information. The text is reduced to blocks of nuggets which are easy to understand.
Eyewitness books are being revisited and reworked to appeal to younger readers. The books were first introduced in 1988, and the series is still a powerhouse. Topics range from science to literature to history. If you are looking for nonfiction books to entice your children, this is a great place to start!
