This book is amazing! Every time I open it up I get sucked in by the vibrant pictures and so many factsabout seemingly everything and anything. Literally, laundry does not get folded because I'm sitting on my son's bed while he is at school reading his book. Best of all, I keep "catching" my son deeply engrossed in this. Anything that postpones the inevitable Ipad request/argument is a winner to me. Tons of educational fun (for all)!
