Customer Reviews

Book in bad condition

The site said the condition was Very Good, however the book arrived with food stains as well as chunks(!) of food stuck to pages. Very sad!

This is my daughter's favorite book ever

My daughter recently turned 9 years old and this has been her favorite book for several years, ever since she was old enough to pick it up and read it on her own. It was so amazing to see her at only 6 or 7 years old picking up this book and reading it for fun. She loves to read and reads a variety of books, but if you ever ask her what her favorite book is, she invariably mentions this book. The illustrations are very cute, and each entry is a short paragraph which is nice for children who often have short attention spans. We highly recommend this book!

Great Book for Curious Kids

My husband and I have been reading this book over and over to our 5 year old. I don't think she understands everything, but she loves it anyway. The explanations are clear and simple without condescending.
