Author: Jim Pipe, David Antram
Page Count: 40 pages
Where I received: From the publisher
Actual Rating: 3 out of 5 stars
This was an interesting little picture book to read. I have mixed views on it, because I am not sure how many children will really enjoy this one. It wasn't a bad picture book but the font made and intense graphics made it sort of a pain to read. I could see children with eye problems or attention problems struggling with this one.
It also is jam packed with a lot of history, maybe a little too much. There isn't much of a storyline, to really engage and keep young readers interested.
Overall it was a decent children's picture book.
