First of all a collection of four books-in-one. These include:
-Awesome Ocean Records
-Amazing Pet Records
-Fantastic Flight Records
-Dangerous Creature Records
This wonderful compilation of four different World Record books are made for children readers thus allowing them to learn, explore and be able to see what can make a record. Although I know that it is necessary it did seem a bit contrary with itself since at one point the book seems to encourage children that they can be the next record-maker while at the end it was telling that records may not be recognized, all depending on those who are in charge, while the compilers are aware most of these records are hazardous to your health thus although they will encourage you to reach out, they aren't responsible for injury or death.
At the same time this particular collection seems to focus on mostly nature and animals thus I found myself disappointed to find that the editor should choose to include for the third book records of man-made flight records before returning again to animals. Please if you are going to work with a theme then stick with the theme instead of throwing something random in.
The books focus on teaching children so when they aren't presenting the 10 records for a book there is extra information on the environment, contributions to the field, more facts that aren't included in the records and a bit more. And sometimes these extra field will open up the reader to the next record but more or less they just contribute to the reading material.
Each book itself is filled with not only short and easy-to-understand text that defines harder words but also plenty of colored illustrations. Sometimes the pictures relate and sometimes they don't but either way they will catch the attention of the children reading the books while helping them to grasp just what they are reading about.
All in all a wonderful collection and one to keep around for children who are interested in the natural world around them or even maybe those who are caught up on all man-made things that fly. Otherwise it can also be a nice distracting and relaxing read as well for adults who don't mind the information-heavy yet easily presented pages while needing a break from their normal reading material.
