Reviews

[Hannah · Rating 4 out of 5]

My son loves reading nonfiction but sometimes has trouble finding books at his level (just now reading on his own, understanding on a “gifted” level) that are full of facts and don’t talk down to him. So, we found this one at the library, and it was perfect for him! Lots of information with simple but accurate wording and lots of diagrams and pictures. Highly recommend!
