Each section has just enough factual information told in conversational language to engage students, but not so much that they are overwhelmed or will need a glossary. A combination of color photographs and whimsical drawings highlight the text in the different sections. Mack includes questions at the end of each page which provide a great opportunity for parents or teachers to start a discussion with readers. Recommended.
