Amazing

Another outstanding Holling Clancy Holling book that ties a compelling story to side-notes that give detailed drawing and descriptions of easy to understand topics ranging from egg lifecycles to how systems are engineered. This is an ideal book for children to read to their parents to stimulate discussion. In many cases the parents will learn as much as the child. It is the one series that has stimulated my son to read.

Didn't love this one, it didn't work nearly as well as the others in this collection for geography study. The chapters were very long, also!(Christian reviewer - I wasn't offended by anything in this book (referring to above review re: evolution))

Beware, this book teaches evolution (pages 8 & 22). It also describes an animal's God given ability to procreate as the animals cells obeying a magical, mysterious order (page 10). If your teaching your children a Biblical worldview, you'll have to explain the problems with this book.
