Any recommendations on good introduction books for kids? Any science or engineering book would be good!

Is a option I remember
https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250767615/sciencecomicstheperiodictableofelements/ - this series of Science Comics is pretty good depending on their age.
http://www.andreabeaty.com/rosie-revere-engineer.html - for you get kids, I like Rosie Revere, engineer. It doesn’t teach any science or engineering, but it teaches kids that science and engineering require mistakes and iterations, and it’s okay if some of your attempts don’t work the first time. Maybe it’s my perfectionism talking but I think that’s an important message.
Anything by Dr Karl Kruszelnicki. He’s an Australian science communicator who as far as I’ve seen is the gold standard for bringing science to the masses. As he says “It’s not the answer that gets you the Nobel Prize, it’s the question!”. He also won the 2002 Interdisciplinary Research Ig nobel prize for his comprehensive survey into belly button fluff.
I enjoyed the Basher Science series.
