Curious: The Desire to Know and Why Your Future Depends on ItA fun yet provocative look at the importance of staying curious in an increasingly indifferent world Everyone is born curious. But only some retain the habits of exploring, learning, and discovering as they grow older. Those who do so tend to be smarter, more creative, and more successful.

A fun yet provocative look at the importance of staying curious in an increasingly indifferent world Everyone is born curious. But only some retain the habits of exploring, learning, and discovering as they grow older. Those who do so tend to be smarter, more creative, and more successful. But at the very moment when the rewards of curiosity have never been higher, it is misunderstood and undervalued, and increasingly monopolized by the cognitive elite. A "curiosity divide" is opening up. In Curious, Ian Leslie makes a passionate case for the cultivation of our "desire to know." Drawing on fascinating research from psychology, economics, education, and business, Leslie looks at what feeds curiosity and what starves it, and finds surprising answers. Curiosity is a mental muscle that atrophies without regular exercise and a habit that parents, schools, and workplaces need to nurture. Filled with inspiring stories, case studies, and practical advice, Curious will change the way you think about your own mental life, and that of those around you.Binding Type: Paperback

Good book for summer!
Format: Paperback
I always get my son a workbook for that summer gap between grades, just so he doesn’t forget what he has learned and to get a little head start for the next grade. I usually get another brand but decided on this one and it is so great! Had the same exact material my son learned in second grade so it was easy for him to get in the groove of things and eases him into the next grade

Cute adorable book "I Love You to the Moon and Back"
Format: Board book, Format: Board book
Review: "I Love You to the Moon and Back "
**Rating:** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Headline: 🧸 Adorable, Durable, and Perfect for a 5-Year-Old!
I purchased **"I Love You to the Moon and Back"** for my 5-year-old granddaughter, and it’s an absolute treasure! This is the kind of book that’s a **joy to read aloud** and sturdy enough to handle little hands.
**👍 What We Loved (The Pros):**
* **Illustrations:** The pictures by **Tim Warnes are fantastic**—they are bright, engaging, and have a lovely, classic feel that really captivates my granddaughter's attention.
* **Quality & Durability:** As a **cute little hardcover book**, it's built to last. It holds up well to repeated readings and being carried around the house.
* **The Story :** The simple, sweet message is just right for this age group. It reinforces a sweet, loving sentiment and makes for a comforting and quick read before naptime or bed.
**📝 Room for Improvement (A Minor Note):**
* Honestly, it’s hard to find a fault here. Perhaps just that we wish it was a little longer because she asks to read it immediately again!
**Overall Impression:**
A wonderful, high-quality picture book that makes a great gift. It combines **beautiful artwork** with an endearing story. We highly recommend it 👍🏾💜
