★★☆☆☆
Contains misinformation
My kids' grandparents gave them this book. One of the first sections we read what "what's special about me?" In listing information about humans, such as type of animal (mammal), species (Homo sapien), it then says "Food - Carnivore". No, humans are omnivores. That may be a minor distinction to you, but it was a sign to me that the book is sloppily edited.
I haven't read much of the rest, as I'm wary of more incorrect information in a book that is supposed to help me teach my kids about the world.
I guess just read it with your kids if you want to be sure they are getting correct information!
