| Summary: | ARE you plagued by an intelligent and curious son or daughter? Has your pride in their lively mind been largely overtaken by increasing dread of the interrogative "Mummy ...?" heralding yet another question to which you probably won't know the answer? Well, help is at hand on at least two subjects. The Oxford Children's Pocket Book of Living Things and the Oxford Children's Pocket Book of Space are mini-encyclopaedias providing a huge amount of information about these topics in a brief and easily accessible form. For example: Did you know that the male emperor moth can smell a female about 11km away? That if you could find a big enough tub of water, Saturn would float in it because the planet's density is lower than that of water? That your brain receives about 35 litres of blood every hour, or about a mugful a minute? That about 3,000 tonnes of dusty material from space falls onto the Earth every day (no wonder I can't keep my home clean for long)? |
