Beautiful

This is a perfect book for children. The beginning pages briefly explain the difference between various forms of microscopes and macro cameras. The scale of the images is also referenced in the opening. Every page has something beautiful and interesting. These are lovely facts that a child can use to eventually help piece together how our world works.
