Some favorite nonfiction books from your childhood? (reddthat.com)

Did many of you even have much nonfiction?

When someone grows nostalgic about childhood books, they generally talk about fiction, but my fiction reading nearly all came from the library and had to go back, so I don’t remember it as clearly as the nonfiction in the bookcase that I’d flip through and look at the pictures and read some here and there.

The publisher DK had a few different series of nonfiction books. I remember some with these really cool detailed cross sections of different things, and another series that was just full of cool photos and trivia. Seems like they had a ton of different books but I can’t remember the specific titles!

Edit: did some googling and at least one of the series was the DK Eyewitness books. They still look like they would be fun to read!
