There was a brief period in my childhood when I spent ages engrossed in a dictionary. I looked up a couple of swear words I heard and a couple of reproductive anatomical terms I heard to read the definition. And then other words mentioned in the definition or synonyms would give me other words to look for. I learnt a lot. Took me a while to figure out that there was more to find in encyclopedias. These will be the ancient tales to tell my children about from the time before internet.
I still have a set of encyclopedias on a shelf somewhere. I was thinking of making it into a learning game when the kids are old enough: like (unplugs router) “anyone who can tell me what year [blank] happened gets some candy”
