    That’s awesome! I’m not familiar with that book, but I’m sure it doesn’t hurt. About to start… so 5-ish years old. I recommend books by Nick Selk, also known as The Awkward Yeti. He makes comics, like Heart and Brain, about the body and other science topics. The Sun Is A Big Deal, The Brain Is A Big Deal, and Onward To Good Things are three child friendly ones. I adore his comics too.

    Enjoy! And happy reading!

      The awkward yeti books are tempting, though expensive. We’ve actually got 3 prints from The Awkward Yeti on our walls. Apparently I’m the heart, mummy is the brain, and she is the butterfly.

      Bae Wolf is a rewriting of Beowulf, written by Zach Weinersmith, author or SMBC. It’s done for children, but in a modernised version of the original writing style (epic poem/sage, using modern language). It’s 208 pages, and aimed at the preteen+ age range.
