The Usborne books present a great chance for a quick wallow in nostalgia, as well as an interesting explanation even today of how some of the tech they are explaining works.

I’m writing to recommend a science book series called Usborne Beginners Science. This series has 10 books. Each one covers different topics and has about 30 pages. You can read about astronomy ...

Usborne of course does keep up with the times and, should you want to seed some nostalgia in the next generation, has a contemporary range of books to teach kids some coding skills.

Kid’s books were better when we were young! Usborne (Fair use) If you are British, the most memorable of these books came from Usborne Publishing.
