All 4 of my kids loved books like that at a very young age as well as TV
shows and videos like that. And they still do. They especially like the
Eyewitness books. Our librarian at the air force base where we live, who is
a big supporter of homeschooling, knew of my kids love of Eyewitness books,
and when the library was given a grant she ordered an enormous set of them!
My kids went crazy checking them out.

Suzanna, who is rather fond of Eyewitness books herself.
