helena Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Here's a few we've enjoyed: Smithsonian Natural History http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0756667526/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_1?pf_rd_p=486539851&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=1588342948&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1JXXJBPTKT85DM90H0GR The Elements http://www.amazon.com/Elements-Visual-Exploration-Every-Universe/dp/1579128149/ref=pd_sim_b_2 Ocean http://www.amazon.com/Ocean-American-Museum-Natural-History/dp/0756636922/ref=pd_sim_b_56'>http://www.amazon.com/Ocean-American-Museum-Natural-History/dp/0756636922/ref=pd_sim_b_56'>http://www.amazon.com/Ocean-American-Museum-Natural-History/dp/0756636922/ref=pd_sim_b_56'>http://www.amazon.com/Ocean-American-Museum-Natural-History/dp/0756636922/ref=pd_sim_b_56 Rock and Gem http://www.amazon.com/Ocean-American-Museum-Natural-History/dp/0756636922/ref=pd_sim_b_56 I've been hitting the library book store, looking for these types of books (much cheaper this way:001_smile:). Here's an example of what I've found: Ancient China http://www.amazon.com/Ancient-China-Chinese-Civilization-Origins/dp/0760783799/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1307782497&sr=1-1 So it's a little older, maybe a bit obscure... but the photos are great and the info is on their level. I've realized we have a thing for coffee table books. :D Looking forward to other titles. :lurk5: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helena Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Hmmm.... I'm not sure if the books I posted (at 2am :tongue_smilie:) are what you were meaning by reference books. Please ignore, if I'm way off base. :blush: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmlentz Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 My son likes non fiction too. He loves the Usborne Famous Lives books. http://www.rainbowresource.com/prodlist.php?subject=14&category=4585 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stripe Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 One of my kids went through a phase of reading Childcraft volumes, such as How Things Work. I had older volumes tnat I'd bought cheaply. I think anything by David Macaulay is great too. I found a copy of His How Things Work for 50c at a library book sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
