"Reading him is like returning to the classroom of the best teacher you ever had"
-People Magazine
Over ten years ago Kenneth C. Davis let the world know that education didn't have to be boring and dull, but could be quirky and full of fun. Now the best-selling author of Don't Know Much About® History, brings his love of knowledge to children in a series that began in August 2001 with two picture books: Don't Know Much About® the 50 States, and Don't Know Much About® the Solar System; and two middle-grade books published simultaneously in hardcover and paperback: Don't Know Much About® the Planet Earth, and Don't Know Much About® Space.
Building on over 1.6 million books in print in the Don't Know Much About® series, and a stellar reputation, Kenneth C.
