I adore how diverse, interesting, and inspiring this book is. Jason appears to be a bright young lad. I truly believe that not only children will find the book enlightening, but that adults will learn something about climate change and the value of the environment in general from it as well. Congratulations on the #BOTD

I like childrens’ books that entertain, as well as impart some knowledge in the process. All in all, this sounds like a great little book. Thanks for your comments.

It’s impressive to see a nine-year-old accomplishing so much at such a tender age. Surely a wake-up call to other youngsters in his age bracket. However, this is not my kind of book for whatever it is worth. Thanks for the review.

This seems like a very useful children's book, and not just because of the age of the author. And this is obviously a very intelligent child. For most children, writing a book about their curious knowledge would be an encouraging activity. Excellent idea. A lovely review.

I like that the narrator of the book is nine-year-old boy Jason. I believe that in this way, children will be better connected with the content of the book.

I have been privileged to be in the midst of some children and i was marveled at the level of intelligence they have… it’s amazing.
I’ll love to read this book.

I real appreciate the book and some humanitarian talks in the story evoked emotions in me either. That is the talks which involved the environment and how the humans are polluting it daily. Animals, plants, and mostly the humans end up getting hurt by the pollution..nice review. .

The ability to communicate a message of importance to an adult by a nine-year-old author is commendable. Besides the message of climate issues, the amount of information imparted is impressive. Great review!

I’m not a huge fan of this style of illustration but I like the idea of the book a lot. I love kid’s books that give knowledge and inspire kids to want to know things.
Thanks for the review!

Too bad my own kids are way too grown up for this book already, because it is just a thing I tried to read them. In my opinion, books intended for children must be more than some easy or dumb fun and this one is a prime example of fun with sense. Congrats with BOTD!

'Official Review: Did You Know?' by Ashok Bhaskaran is a mirror reflection of the story of a nine-year-old boy, Jason, for avid readers! The point that Jason gives facts about diverse disciplines in life in the story is worth mentioning in the review! Also, the point that Jason adds us immense information ranging from history to technology, as mentioned in the review, is remarkable for readers! The reactions to the book provided by the reviewer are fascinating to follow! The review has a good ending!

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting fact book, but written so children can understand important historical facts. It appears to be a great book to teach children about significant events. It might be worth a second look, especially for those with younger children. Well done.
