Children love quizzes - and testing their general knowledge to the limit. This book is packed with 500 questions, quizzes, puzzles, and guessing games on all the subjects kids find intriguing. Designed to complement the best-selling "DK Children's Illustrated Encyclopaedia", it can be used independently as a read-alone quiz book or to test family and friends. Inquisitive readers can use the Encyclopaedia to expand on the questions and their answers. The contents divide into three: 150 quick-fire questions, 300 picture puzzles that oblige contestants to identify correct answers by visual clues alone, and a question and answer section in which the answers give more detailed information. The subjects themselves are based on four major themes - World About Us, Natural History, History,and the Human Body. At the end of each section are the answers needed to settle arguments, or to verify your own read-alone efforts.
