Engaging Book With Interesting Content Makes a Fun and Educational Christmas Gift For Kids!
‘Captivating Stories for Curious Kids’ is a nonfiction book that tells several different accounts of history in an engaging short story format. The book contains forty five different historical stories; some of which include fictional characters to aid in making the history more relatable for the child reading the book. There are almost comic-book-style drawings of the historical figures or situations that are being explained every few chapters, and the stories are written at a simple grade school reading level. I purchased the softcover edition, and the cover is bright and eye-catching, featuring several different historical figures drawn in a cartoonish style on the front, and a brief explanation of the book’s contents on the back. I very much enjoyed reading this book. I purchased it for my youngest brother for Christmas, as he loves learning new facts, and wanted to read it before wrapping it. Each story grabbed my attention and kept me intrigued until the end. I found myself looking forward to each new story as I turned the pages, and learning historical facts I didn’t know along the way. ‘Captivating Stories for Curious Kids’ is going to make a wonderful and educational Christmas gift.

Amazing Compilation of Factual and Informative Stories that keep Your Child Wanting to Read More!
You guys!?! I was so impressed with ‘Captivating Stories for Curious Kids’ by Chris Munoz! I have never been so content with any book I have bought for my kids because halfway through I have lost their attention. This book is a compilation of short stories that challenge your child with critical thinking skills and keeping them entertained (“The truth is stranger than fiction” included in the introduction). These short stories cover a wide variety of topics including the animal kingdom’s story of “The real Winnie the Pooh”, stories of accomplishments such as the first recorded journey across America, and even the weird ways people entertain themselves like people trying to create phones to talk to the dead! A great feature in the book is that it is so attention-grabbing! For instance, at the conclusion of the prolog states, “If you want to be entertained, read on.” My daughter was saying, “Well, go on Mommy, turn the page!” These stories are told about factual events that happened in history that I was not even aware of! One of those was the short-story, “The Spirit Phone” which is about Thomas Edison’s oddest idea that he never had a chance to finish, a phone to talk to the dead! True Story! But if your little buddy loves animals like mine do? This entire compilation of short stories is worth ordering for the tale, “Unlikely Friends”, that is about a 600-lb baby hippo named Owen that washed up with the debri on the coastlands of Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and India after the Indian Ocean Tsunami on December 26, 2004, who found his best friend “Mzee” (an old Aldabra tortoise) he met at the sanctuary he called his new home! Not only do these stories teach facts and informs us about history, but helps with seeing the world in a new way, makes the reader wonder, look closer, and ask more questions, and most of all, that everyone has their own unique story. These stories will show that real life can sometimes be stranger than fiction!
