Preface...







A sound grasp of events, personalities and ongoing developments in various

fields constitute what is commonly called as General Knowledge . In today’s
highly competitive environment, it is imperative that students and even

professionals who aspire to carve a significant career path and also grow in their
chosen careers must have a reasonably good awareness of the current

happenings around them.



Ask Me More – a series of eight general knowledge books for students of classes
1 to 8 has been a carefully researched, reliable, and all-encompassing reference

source for learners and has earned the trust of many for providing detailed and
accurate information on a wide range of subjects.




This series is not just a bunch of questions and answers or just another bundle of
facts which have to be memorised, because ask me more is much about asking
the right questions as it is about finding the right answers. It is about beyond a

few select subjects that are taught in schools. It is also about becoming more

aware of the world around us. Therefore, this series has been designed as an
extension of the recommendations of Latest National Curriculum Framework
(NCF) and is aimed at bringing alive general knowledge in the classroom with

quizzes, games, facts, surveys, activities, life skills, aptitude, lifestyles, stories

and group discussions about value system that can excite, engage, and educate
a young mind.



We hope that this new series will attain its purpose of creating awareness and a

sense of responsibility among the young learners towards their family,
community and country at large.
