"My son received this book for his 7th birthday. Its been a hit. He has carried it everywhere.. out to dinner with us and to school as well as all over the house following his father and I to share some interesting facts. He is reading it out load and enjoying it. There are some words he doesn't understand yet, like countries and other specific things but overall, its a winner! Its written well and has pictures and side notes to look at other pages..10/10 would recommend."

"I received a complimentary copy of this book via Netgalley. Opinions expressed in this review are my own opinions.
I cannot explain how happy FACTopia books make me. They are educated yet very entertaining on their fact-giving 2qays. They are also mostly facts I was not aware of which is not a common occurrence as I love fact books. My Godson has received 2 books from the series after I reviewed them and it looks like he's getting a third."
