Give Rebecca a book on general culture and curiosities and see how she enjoys it! Books like this are not missing from our house, because Rebeca, like any curious child, is eager to find out and learn about the world around her. And as Rebecca likes to tell others everything she finds interesting, I said to do the same and put here what I learn, next to her. I think it's a good way to get kids interested in curiosities and books.

Today, 20 curiosities about animals, which we discovered together, when we read 500 incredible and crazy truths :
