Before I read this book I was like 5. Now I thought it was stupid to read at first. But later on I started to like it. The reason why I started to like it was I learned things about different country's around the world. It also started to make me like things in the world I didn't know about. But since I did I got good grades about projects around the world. That's why I love this book and try to make you like it so bye
