I liked this book (I like all the First Discovery Books I've read). The kids really enjoyed it, too. We are studying Ancient Egypt and this book was a great one to give them a bit of perpective...how big is the Great Pyramid compared to other buildings? It helped give them visuals to go along with the things we've read.

I love this series. Some of them are very hard to find and command a high price. The pictures are clear and bright and the "clear pages" add interest. They are European based, so some of the species pictures are not native but the information is sound. Recommended, if you can find them!

Q2021 book.

I wasn't expecting to see internal organs and embalming in a children's book, but as the creator is French, I guess I should have girded my loins.
