My boys receive new books from Santa every single year, it’s a given. But, now that my oldest is turning seven, he’s started to skip bedtime stories with his little brothers and we are desperately trying to keep the love of reading in his heart. Sometimes we have to be tricky, but once we found DK Canada we knew we had hit gold!
DK Canada has the most creative, visually stunning and interesting to read books on the market! From Marvel to Star Wars and every LEGO Collection, DK Canada books keep my boys hooked on books all year long! The books are the best of quality, often large with hard covers and some can be quite heavy. This never stops my oldest from tucking one into his backpack to take to school and show all of his friends! He’s really proud of them!

SMITHSONIAN ANIMAL BOOK
One subject all my boys love reading about is animals! From bugs to sharks to dinosaurs, my boys love to hear animal facts so this book is perfect for them!
Our world is filled with extraordinary diversity, from amoebas to zebras, from tiny toadstools to giant oaks. The wonders of the natural world are on display in The Animal Book. This guide to life on our planet is packed full of information about creatures big and small. This tome is structured according to scientific classification, with straightforward explanations of more than 1,500 specimens, each stunningly photographed. A “tree of life” greets readers at the beginning of the book, charting the complex and interconnected relationships between species. Every plant and animal is presented in proportion, with in-depth spreads giving a sense of scale to each organism. Feature spreads that focus on a single specimen let children get up close and personal with the world’s most fascinating animals, making The Animal Book perfect not only for homework help but to satisfy kids’ curiosity about the wealth of living creatures that inhabit our planet
STAR WARS COMPLETE VEHICLES
When I saw this book on the DK Canada website I literally laughed out loud! This was going to be a life saver for my husband! My oldest is a big star wars fan despite the fact that we haven’t let him watch any of the movies yet and he’s particularily interested in all of the vehicles. He makes my husband draw by hand each one! If you know Star Wars at all, you’ll know that this is no easy task! Still it’s heart warming to see that my boys are sharing in some of the same loves my husband had as a boy!
For any fan who wants to explore the inner workings of the spaceships and vehicles of all six Star Wars™ movies comes this fascinating expanded edition of a fan favorite, now with new cross-section artworks and a wealth of new photos.
Star Wars®: Complete Cross-Sections is packed with visual explorations of more than fifty essential Star Wars spacecraft and landcraft, including the TIE bomber, Imperial shuttle, A-wing, B-wing, and more. Full-color cross-section artwork presents in-depth examinations of each craft’s weapon systems, engines, hyperdrives, cockpits, and construction secrets, providing a never-before-seen glimpse at the vehicles that drive the Star Wars universe. Star Wars®: Complete Cross-Sections now features new and never-before-seen cross-sections!
I was even really impressed myself, check out the details in this book!

I love books, libraries, bookstores…I love the smell of new books and collect vintage books…oh, and I love to read!!!! A great post, obviously! I saw the Lego book in the bookstore a few nights ago and this is really interesting!
I love the feel and smell of a book too, I could never do a kobo! lol
We love to give books to our kids too for Christmas. It’s one gift that doesn’t require batteries and won’t give us a headache during the two weeks they have off from school. LOL!
The LEGO Minifigure book would be perfect for my husband and 5 year old. Yes… I have a 30 something year old big kid at home 😉
Thanks for the recommendations
lol my husband loves all of these books too!
I like the Smithonian book! It’s something my 21 month old and I can go through together.
We used to always buy our nephews books for birthdays and Christmas. I love shopping for them and giving them too!
Books make an awesome gift anytime and especially during the holidays as you can find something for just about everyone (as you demonstrated in this post!). DK looks like they have a fantastic selection for the holiday season, there isn’t much time for shopping left so thank you for letting us know about the 30% off deal! Happy reading! 🙂
Happy Reading! I love how unique the books are!
DK Canada has some amazing books. We have recently moved from nightly books to short chapter books. We read a chapter or two a night and my boys love it! They can’t wait until the next night to find out what happens. DD2 even sits and listens (which shocks me!)
I remember that switch with my oldest, it’s a great time. we are now on book 3 of Harry Potter!
