This review is from: Hidden World: Caves (First Discovery Book) (Hardcover)

We started out with "Hidden World - Inside the Human Body" and loved it. This book came our way and was good as well but not quite as good and "Human Body".

It is really unique in that there are dark overlays on many of the pages. Then the reader gets a "flashlight" that pops out of a page in the back of the book, and uses that flashlight to 'shine' between the dark overlay and the page directly behind. What happens is the images on the dark overlay are now visible because the flashlight puts a white paper section behind them. Hence the name "Hidden World".

It is well made and has held up for a number of years. The pictures are good and the text details are just right for the age of the reader. My son really enjoyed this starting at age 5 and up.
