Have you ever wondered where electricity comes from? Or where you can find the most poisonous snake? This 192-page book, for kids 8 to 12 years old, has the answers to these questions and many more kids may never have thought to ask.

In 10 chapters, which include The Oceans and Space, among others, readers will travel away from the comforts of home and jump into the seven continents, take a dive deep under the sea and venture out into the solar system. Along the way, they’ll discover some surprising facts about different customs, sports, history, and animals from around the world. 

Colorful, easy-to-read maps, spectacular, eye-popping photos and clear, engaging diagrams make the book come to life and help answer questions such as:

-          Where is the tallest mountain?

-          Where did the Olympics begin?

-          Where is the Petrified Forest?

-          Where are diamonds found?

-          Where was the hamburger invented?

-          Where does spam go after you delete it?

-          And much more!

TIME For Kids’ Big Book of Where is the perfect addition to every family’s bookshelf. 

Our Thoughts

I have a 9-year-old who loves to learn. He's usually full of questions of why, when, where, and how. When the Big Book of Where came up I jumped on it immediately. 

TIME for Kids has been used in his social studies classrooms since he was in first grade and he loves the information that TIME has provided. That fact alone was enough to make me want to see this book and share it with him. My son has read through this book twice and is still learning new things. He's come to me multiple times saying, "Mom, did you know..." and has explained where things are or where they've taken place. His favorite pages in the book are usually the pages revolving around Africa, Egypt and the Titanic. There is so much to learn in this book and I'm extremely impressed with it! 

If you have an avid questioner like I do or you just have a child who has a curiosity that cannot be quenched, take a look at the TIME for Kids Big Book of Where!  It gets 5-stars from this mom!
