Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
First Facts
DK · 2012
72/100
👍 Worth It
DK's visual production quality is as reliable as it gets in children's non-fiction, and the First Facts series puts those sharp photographs in front of young children at just the right moment of curiosity. Because the series spans many individual volumes, the score here applies to the format rather than any specific title — individual subject volumes should be evaluated on their own, but the format itself is solid.
