Reviews

[Rosa Cline · Rating 4 out of 5]

The books in this series are wonderful; they each are written in a basic 'storybook' but realist way. Teaching children about the various true to life events per each book. This one about demolition and the various ways they demolish buildings depending upon the size and the location of the building. These books also include glossary words in the back that you can use to expand your child's lesson. You can use it as spelling words, as homeschooled information etc.
