the reason i like this book is because it shows how communication has changed so much over time, and the difference between sending a message then and sending one now.Gives children an understanding of where things came from and how why they was made.

It was ok because it taught us how technology was in the past and that people had to write letters by hand but now people text and send e-mails.
