This review is from: Hooray For Antarctica! (Our Amazing Continents) (Paperback)

This book is available as paperback, and I like that in a book! The photos are engaging and large, can do a walkthrough (talk about the photos) with toddler to 1st grade, but the text is more for ... grade 2 and up?

I bought the whole series (all the continents) and I like them all - mostly for the photos and limited text. They'll be part of my 3 - 1/2 year-old's library for some time.
