Interesting reading, and the artwork is quite engaging. The information included here, while accurate, is intended to be fun and is not an in-depth guidebook. It is geared toward children ages 9-12. However, I would exercise discretion in determining whether or not your child should read the book. If they tend to be a hypochondriac, reading about potential perils may heighten their anxiety. Those who love adventure, on the other hand, will eat this up.
