With this book I learned a few facts but I had to stop about half way through because of the disorganized format of the words. I couldn't tell which paragraph was part of the other and it started to hurt my head and eyes. I just wanted to read this book.😭

It's a cute book for kids. But I can't deny that I did learn a few things.
