This Week’s Word Is “World.”
This week’s book is My Very Important World from DK books. It’s aiming to be the ultimate geography book for children around 7 upwards. It’s part of a series of books that includes Very Important Dinosaurs that I reviewed last year.
What is My Very Important World?
It’s 220 pages of facts about the world. Geography: Physical, social, human, and political is encapsulated within My Very Important World’s hardback binding. This is not just a bog-standard hardback binding, though. The front cover has been made to be tactile; filled, I guess, with a slightly squashy layer of foam.
Like most DK books My Very Important World is broken down into several sections.
1. My World.
The My World section of the book is about the reader, or more accurately what makes you, you; the things that shape our personalities. It discusses environments and experiences and nature versus nurture before moving onto some basic biology of the human body. From there we move to healthy eating, emotions, and facing your fears. This includes a fun list of unusual phobias. The My World section closes out with homes, family, and pets.
