Oh yeah, I had that book when I was that age. Absolutely awesome. The mammoths everywhere were great although I think I really only appreciated them when I got older.
BUT! Be careful not to get the utterly awful “How Stuff Works” book (or more than one?). They’re age-appropriate to a 2 or 3 year old. More superficial than Richard Scarry’s “What do People Do All Day?”, which though surprisingly detailed is still around 5-year-old territory.

Seconded (or thirded). One of my favorite books as a child as well; it was one of my first thoughts on reading the original post.
Thanks, guys. I had not heard of these books. I will look into them.
