Doodlepedia by Doring Kindersley

I ordered this for my 9 year old who is really into her drawing and art and she loves it.  It's quite large, about 25 by 30cm, and each double page spread contains a drawing, information about and around the drawing and white space for your child to add to and create their own drawings.  The range of information is broad and perfect for boys and girls, for instance, the page I'm looking at on crocodiles contains a spread of black and white illustration of a swamp and your child is invited to colour all the crocodiles.  Information is given on the page, that crocodiles are carnivores, what they eat, how big they grow and where they live.  This would and has been a perfect book for car journeys, just add a pack of coloured pens / crayons and I don't think you'll hear anything for a while!
