ABOUT THE BOOK

If… is a fun and clever book that helps children understand very big ideas, numbers and facts through simple comparisons. It takes things that are too big, old or numerous to imagine and makes them easier to understand.

With colourful illustrations and visual comparisons, children can learn about the world, history, numbers and more in a new and interesting way. The book helps children think about what facts really mean instead of simply memorising them.

WHO IS IT FOR?

Age: 7–12 years

Best for:

• Curious children who love facts and numbers
• Children interested in science and geography
• Kids who enjoy asking questions about the world
• Visual learners
• Children who like comparing different things
• Building general knowledge and thinking skills

WHY WE LOVE IT

We love how If… makes big and difficult ideas easy for children to understand. It helps develop mathematical thinking, comparison skills, visual thinking and general knowledge without feeling like a school textbook.

It is the kind of book that makes children stop, think and see familiar things in a completely new way.
