This seems very well done, for a children's book. Maybe I should have given it five stars. However, it was very short and did not give a comprehensive treatment of all the pictograms available. That may have been the intention. I could see a child becoming interested enough to continue to study the subject. I wanted a little more from the book. Of course, I did read a children's book here to get a simple introduction. Sometimes that's all you may need in a subject.
