This book was very boring and yes, I get that it is an encyclopedia but the information was also very limited. If you are looking for a picture book that you can read to your 6-7 year old than I recommend this but for anything or anyone one else, it is definitely not a very good option. My final rating ended up being 1.75 because it did give me a couple fun facts.
