Lol no group of kids gathers around wikipedia to look at an article. Someone busted this book out in class, no matter the subject, and every kid in that class was at attention. It made learning much more fun.

That's cool you had such experiences. I don't remember anyone getting excited about a book and sharing it like that in my school, which is a shame.

Although I do remember everyone getting excited about the book buying thing in primary school and I think there were lots of DK books in that? My family couldn't really afford that stuff so guess it just isn't a nostalgic thing for me.
