This was a very fun and informational book. The illustrations helps to understand the concepts and keeps the reader interested. I really liked that they took a tough idea and made it understandable for young readers.

Informative book that provides clear content that is augmented by use of graphic devices. Would recommend for K-3 classrooms, particularly out here in the PNW.
