[Rod Brown · Rating 2 out of 5]

The Q&A format makes this a boring skim over a list of somewhat interesting facts. The pictures are really nice at least.

[Becky · Rating 3 out of 5]

There was a lot of good information in here, but the Q&A format made it a bit dry. We had to break it into multiple reading sessions, and I think it would have been more successful for its intended audience if it had been more narrative in style. My kids would have also enjoyed a better picture to text ratio, though the pictures in here were good realistic drawings.
