Customer Reviews

Fun book for my 9 year old.

This book is meant for children. It says "National Geographic KIDS" on the cover. 🙄

Too Simple for Adults

This books is written more for Jr. High and High School Students. It's a little behind the times as well dealing with technical things, computers, etc. It's an easy read, lots of pictures and white space. Sort of interesting.
