As a child author herself, she appreciates books that are exceptionally unique in their approach to teaching a particular concept. The Engineering book and Basher's Periodic Table are her favorites so far. The books are presented in such a whimsical, quirky manner and she loves to share the insights from what she's learned. Something about the Basher series feels like he's hit the mark when it comes to creating thoroughly enjoyable informational texts on learning new advanced concepts, broken down into the primary, essential and fundamental basics. Bravo!
