THANKS FOR THE REALITY

THIS IS A WONDERFUL BOOK. IT HAS PROVEN TO BE SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN AND ADULTS. CHILDREN GET BORED SKIMMING THE PRETTY SIDE OF LIFE OVER AND OVER BECAUSE ADULTS DON'T HAVE THE PATIENCE AND ANSWERS IT TAKES TO BE HONEST. CHILDREN KNOW THAT THERE IS MORE TO LIFE THAN WHAT THEY ARE SHOWN. KANGAROOS ARE SOME OF THE MOST COMPLEX ANIMALS IN THE WORLD (POUCHES AND HOPPING ARE THE LEAST OF IT). THIS BOOK SHOWS THAT IN A WAY THAT IS NOT "GROSS"; BUT, REAL, HONEST AND EDUCATIONAL.

Purposfully explicit

The beauty of this series is the slightly gruesome nature of the photographs. While adults may wrinkle their noses and say "Ick," elementary school children find them very appealing. Kids especially enjoy knowing their elders are "grossed out" by the pictures!
