Editorial Reviews
This is a very special little book that just begs to be shared with someone sitting on your lap. The friendly illustrations are filled with charming details.This book makes easy work of a possibly confusing topic. Best of all, the edge of each page opens with a cleverly designed flap which gives the reader a closer peek into the subject.
Care for Kids
This clever format provides two levels of text: one a simple story for quite young readers, and another, under the flap, a more involved scientific lesson.
