Wonderful!

I teach elementary school, and I just love this book for 1st or 2nd graders. It is written perfectly for the age group, yet will not bore the adult who reads with or to the child. There is a lot of excellent information here, and the photos and illustrations are beautiful. I particularly like the project at the end of the book, so students can supplement their reading with some "hands-on" learning. I *highly* recommend this book!
