Something I like so far about this book is that at the end of each couple of facts it has a quiz about what you just read . Like the question that Kris wrote , "Who was the first African American to win the Nobel Peace Prize" (Sanchez 72) ? And the answer to that would be Ralph Bunche .

A fact I never knew before I read this book : The first animals in space were fruit flies , launched in a rocket by the United States in 1947 . They were still living when recovered .
