"DK's latest brain-boggling book, "It Can't Be True", with more than 200 jaw-dropping visual comparisons on subjects from animals to human-body feats of engineering and outer space, is aimed at capturing young readers' attention with impossible-to-believe facts and figures. es. The book, developed with the Smithsonian Institution, provides detailed information for each of its many illustrations. While the publisher recommends the book for ages 8 to 15, I think younger children and adults will also find the book full of fascinating illustrations and facts and I recommend it for age 6 to adults."
