This book was really interesting. I thought, “man, if I have to read informational books for a grade maybe choose something you haven’t had time or put any effort into learning up until now!” and chose religions.
This edition is nice because it’s short yet uses nice imagery and tells the origin story in a way that’s easier for me to remember.
Separately, I like this book series because not only do they have QR codes imbedded in the book but they take you to helpful videos and activities to help with comprehension and retention of the information.
