The starting point is the child and the questions they ask about how things work, from how to build a house to what powers a rocket to reach the moon. The title is organized around key questions: What's it made from? How's it made? What makes things go? What makes things move? What are sound and light? How do we keep in touch? How big or small? Who does what? There are things to do both on and off the page, including games, recipes and craft activities.

Press Reviews

A beautifully designed, fact-packed compendium
Financial Times

Just the thing for getting little minds used to being back at school
Smallish

Beautifully illustrated in large format, combining stories, games, facts and activities, it is also a useful parental resource. Not least if, like us, you find yourself endlessly faced with questions to which you have no answer
Motherland

With an even mix of facts and fun, using clean and clear illustrative style, both my 5 and 8 year old thoroughly enjoyed dipping into this book ... Well done the OKIDO team!
