What's not to like? A hearty recommendation and ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ from this pleased reviewer!

I love a good fact book, and DK's new 1,000 Amazing World Facts definitely amazed me more than once! There were quite a few times I said, "I didn't know that!" -- and many times I went down a rabbit trail to learn more about a new topic. I would definitely want a physical copy of this book to be able to see all the visual comparisons and illustrations more easily.

This book is full of facts that will surprise people. There were a lot in there that I didn't know. The pictures and illustrations also were engaging and helped support the facts.

My students were thrilled to be given access to this book. They loved learning about bats, the huge snakes, and other animal facts. They will use the information to write books of their own. They liked that it gave them new and unique ideas for their own writing. The spider page was creepy! It gave us quite a scare when we turned to it. Overall, this book was engaging for my first grade students. Some of the facts were basic, such as how long or heavy things were. The comparisons to actual other objects made that information easier to conceptualize for my first graders. They are so grateful to netgalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

My kids love any sort of nonfiction book, and this fit the bill for my elementary schoolers! This is the type of book they could reach for over and over

A great book. It has fantastic photos and drawings. There were so many facts that I didn't know so that was very fun.
I really like how for some things like caves it shows how many of something we see every day would fit in there. That gives us a better idea of just how much that is. This would be great for any kids you know.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the arc.

My son absolutely loved this book. He is really into learning new facts right now. He and I both kept saying wow over and over. I had no idea about many of these facts. They are truly amazing to learn and think about. We especially enjoyed the facts about nature- the waterfalls, the mountains, rivers, etc. The book is full of beautiful and engaging photos and illustrations too. This would make a great gift for any fact obsessed kiddo.
