Reviews

[The Library Mouse Tales · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a Christmas gift and I love all the interesting facts it contains!There are more than 135 flaps to look under. under each one you will discover facts such as; what karaoke means in Japanese, how the Mona Lisa got her name and how many people are descended from Genghis Khan. The facts are helpfully separated into subjects such as Living Things, Science Lab, Treasure Trove, and When Did It Happen? The book covers lots of general knowledge topics like the periodic table, the formation of the Earth, saltwater crocodiles, the great pyramid of Giza . The book is a good way for kids to increase their general knowledge but it is also fun and interesting too. You can spend ages just looking at the brightly coloured pictures, lifting the flaps and being entertained too.
There are lots of other titles in this series for children to enjoy. Take a look at some of my other lift the flap reviews for ideas.

Buku fakta yang paling menarik tahun ini. Sesuai dengan musim cuti sekolah, untuk aktiviti anak muda beramah mesra dengan adik-adik lebih kecil. Agak berbeza dengan sirinya yang lain, kerana di atas flap nya bukan soalan, tetapi fakta, dan di bawah flap nya juga fakta. Jadi berganda-ganda faktanya. Pra syarat cuma perlu bimbingan orang yang mahir menggunakan kamus inggeris, untuk kosa katanya. Orang bujang yang suka fakta boleh juga melayan eye candy buku ini. Cukup comel.
