Critics Review
“Young children love to learn about the world around them, and are full of questions. This Bruno Gilbert book will feed their imaginations, and give them another dozen reasons to ask “Why?” So, whether you are interested in how many lightning strikes there are each second, or the volume of cow farts produced each second, there is something in here to tickle everyone’s imagination!”
* Teach Early Years Magazine *“Every Second appeals on a visual as well as informative level. Gilbert has used a stylish palette and bold, graphic illustrations to add punch to the, at times uncomfortable, facts included. As you’d expect from a text published by What on Earth Books, this is a thought-provoking picture book for a more enlightened generation.”
