Customer Reviews
I got this book for our daughter for her third grade year, for which we homeschooled her most of the year, because it was listed as a recommended supplemental reading under Common Core. It is, as others have noted, beautifully illustrated, and our daughter said that she enjoyed reading it and that there is a lot of interesting information in it. She didn't want to read it more then once, however, so it ended up in the donation pile. I'm not marking it down for that because I don't think it has to do with the quality of the book, but rather the nature of my daughter's preferred interests.
