Qassim Book Fair promotes the spirit of reading in children

The Qassim Book Fair is attracting crowds of children with displays of children’s colorful books, stories on the prophets, informative reading material, and intelligent games such as “hiqu” which has four wooden pieces with which more than 100 shapes can be formed. Children were also attracted to books on chemistry which aim to inculcate scientific thinking. These books encouraged the children to conduct 180 scientific experiments using safe chemicals. — SPA
