I know these are made for younger readers but I enjoy them very much. Great pictures and layout make them a joy to read. I always learn something new from them. This volume had a reference to a lost chapter in the Bible, in the book of Daniel called "Susanna and the Elders". Highly recommended

I think this book would go well with a field trip to the wild life refuge. I will use this in my content area literacy center.
